Ahh, but I am only the maintainer. There are at least two-three other coders who are going to be working on the project; they have a lot more time than me.
Furthermore, recent developments might mean that I may have as mmuch as ten to fifteen hours to work on this project a week.
If I were you, I would definitely look for something to come out of this project.
I was surprised and a little upset when I saw they wrote their own title.
My original title merely indicated that Tux Racer 1.0 was going to be closed source and that I would be working on the GPLed codebase in an effort to make a derivative.
I hope you can get the Linux version out there. As I have stated before to you. I really hope that the commercial version meets as much success as possible.
It is sad that geeks, who should be those with the highest level of scholarism should be so quick to twist things to fit the mold of bias. I am sorry for any damage this may have done to sunspire; it was not my intention.
My goal in saving tux racer is to save tux racer, not to compete with sunspire and get into an Xemacs vs Emacs, ssh vs openssh, etc war. The best way I saw of doing that was to attempt to develop in a different direction.
Furthermore, Sunspire _does_ have 0.61 as an open source version. If I competed with them, they could leverage their marketing head-start against me, killing the Open Racer project. As it lies now, Sunspire has agreed to link to the Open Racer site from the Tux Racer site, which gives me the advantage of having their head-start in publicity.
I have no intention to compete with Sunspire. I couldn't do so even if I wanted to. They have a head start of several programmers coding for six months. I have one programmer (myself), who can throw maybe an hour or two every week.
Again, if anyone is interested with ideas, or suggestions, or anyone wants to code or do artwork, let me know at my email address.
The real irony is that the Lancaster County Linux Users Group held our monthly meeting at the RMS office in Lancaster. I almost fell out of my chair when I read Slashdot the next day.
