It's a Sourceforge project (Link.). One of the things we're trying to do with the project is to keep it original, which games are desperately lacking. I am with the rest of the slashdot crowd that artists are very hard to find, and right now my project only has one artist. Which is a shame considering I have not even considered implementing sound and I know of a few friends that are willing to compose some music for the project.
The editors of slashdot want to make sure that even while you breathe you have to look and read about SCO! They will put it under many different catagoeries so you can't just go into your preferences and say "I do not want to see SCO and SCO-related stories".
Stop with the fucking SCO articles. Or put it under SCO/Caldera. Either way, I think I speak for many.
Today on Slashdot, a second cousin of a slashdot user looks at the SCO case, stating how SCO is doing the suit all for the money and that MS FUD is abundant in the case. Slashdotters rejoice with the spamming of "LINUX ROCKS!" statements all over the comments system.
PLEASE MOD PARENT UP! That's exactly how I feel about OSS versus Windows. Although I slightly disagree about the small business, but that is highly dependant on weither they use specialty applications or not.
Yeah I also heard that the game has a great way to make mods for it too! It's really cool -- I hear there's a way to create virtual realities, and people make them all the time -- though it's mostly through the economic system that they do this. Just FYI.
Has GPLed software been sold? Yes. Haven't you purchased a Linux distro before? The FSF even sells their GPLed software! (Order link)
Is it viable??? Ask a company like Red Hat; they're in the black because of GPLed software and related services (one could argue that they are two completely different ways of getting revenue, but service contracts and software go hand and hand in the corperate world). GPLed software in the mainstream is just starting to become established; it's too early to say if it's a dead-end or not. Companies are gun-shy to change any of their methods in a conservative move to their stockholders.
When code is licensed under the GNU General Public License or GPL (as is Linux), the license effectively eliminates any financial rewards anyone -- whether an individual or a corporation -- might hope to gain from improving upon it. It does this by compelling an author who uses any part of the code to give up the right to charge a license fee for the finished product.
There is nothing in the GPL that prevents you from selling GPL'ed software. In fact, the FSF says to go right ahead and do so if you want. What the GPL of course DOES guarantee is that the software can't become proprietary at any point, whereas the BSDs can be.

The machine just was set off by a few minutes.... yeah that's it. :)
It is very nice for the courts to be oh-so-forgiving of MS...
I wish I had mod points right now... you sir -- YOU owe me a keyboard, for I have just spit out my Mountain Dew.
Look here.
That's redundant.
Yeah it might freeze...
*head explodes*
Maybe we'll see less VBS worms getting spread around. That assumes they yank out OE from Windows.
And I'm going to make a patch where "lavatory" will be replaced with "wash_closet" -- so there.
Why of course! My email address is darrel.mcbride@sco.com I would be happy to give you the Brooklyn Bridge along with a SCO-compliant copy of Linux!
I won't join any organizations like the ACLU to protect my freedoms! NO! I'm going to be an armchair critic and let the government erode my freedoms!

Your tax dollars at work demonstrating a good example... :-)

(Yes yes I know, it should of been "father's second cousin's roommate", just like in Spaceballs. The subject box isn't that big...)

Slackware for everything! Use only 'cuz it's l33t.
And would be a violation of ANY OSS license.
Now we have an explaination for SCO!
