    Digital Illusions has signed Trauma Studios, creators of the non-commercial Desert Combat mod for BF1942

    It is very sad how someone in a position of marketing power can poison how a word is used.

    I'm sure I'm not the only person who was immediately reminded of these memos and press releases where MS tried to link GPL software with the misnomer of 'noncommerical.'
