SimCity Source Code Is Now Open
Tolkien writes "Source code for SimCity has been released under the GPLv3. For legal reasons the open source version was renamed Micropolis, which was apparently the original working title. The OLPC will also be getting a SimCity branded version that has been QA'ed by Electronic Arts. Some very cool changes have been made by Don Hopkins, who updated and ported what is now Micropolis. (Here is an earlier Slashdot discussion kicked off by a submission Don made.) Among other things, it has been revamped from the original C to using C++ with Python. Here is the page linking all the various source code versions. Happy hacking!"

That, and I am actually waiting on a new VISA card. They upgraded me to a new card, which means issuing a new number. It hasn't arrived yet.

A comment about the history of copy protection on SimCity is off topic in a discussion of the open sourcing of Sim City? Unbelievable.
