The definition of open source is maintained here: http://www.opensource.org/osd.html It does not meet the requirements, therefore it is not technically open source.
The code is available, but under terms of a license so insane that neither the FSF nor the Open Source Initiative (who maintain the definition of 'open source': on their list of approved licenses) consider it free.
This is also one of the reasons RMS prefers free/libre software -- it avoids this whole "well it's open, but not really" ridiculousness when it comes to insane licensing.
Perhaps this 5% of users continuing with the download are people downloading cracks/keygens that are too often flagged as threats. I know it happens to m.. my cousin Vinny..
Anyone else think this sounds kind of cool from a gamer's perspective? I'd like a game with high violence, low sexual themes, medium amounts of profanity, and some gambling on the side, please.
I'm all for teachers being able to teach _scientific_ weaknesses about widely accepted theories as long as they note howevermuch of the scientific community supports the theory.
I realize it won't happen like that, but that'd be an interesting way to undermine the bill -- propose a clause that requires them to have a non-trivial and quite well scientifically supported argument -- so it religious reasons won't count.
