Thursday, July 12, 2007So, uh, I can't see anything about them releasing the source code or even linking to the engine distro they built the 'standalone' on. That's a breach of the GPL, as is distributing a closed source mod, meant to be distributed under the Quake 3 Mod License, as part of the GPL licensed 'standalone' game. Given that the GPL is a legally binding license, breach of it can result in legal action and there are people who go around reporting any GPL breach they find on the net, there's even a foundation to do so, if I remember correctly. |

Thursday, July 12, 2007Might be because English Bid For Power seems to just be Bid for Power files still. They mashed the first ZEQ and EBFP together in an orgy of chaos. The only reason I know they used ZEQ is because of all the made up names and attacks I gave characters that had no relation to the series at all. Basically, when you see Gotenks with a move called "Burst Fire" that covers the map, you know that something isn't quite right.

Thursday, July 12, 2007No they didn't. The media files required by Quake 3 to start up are not distributable. 'Standalone mods' have only been able to be produced since the release of the engine code under GPL and even then you can not legally distribute any of the Quake 3 media with the game produced by it, you have to replace all the basic sounds, models, textures, menus, bot AI personallity files and so forth, hence the reason for such projects as OpenArena.

Friday, July 13, 2007Quake 3 went open source on August 19, 2005. So almost 2 years now. |

Friday, July 13, 2007Yup and 2 years isn't 'always' as the game's been out since 1999. Any 'standalone' quake 3 mod released before August '05, I'm sorry to say, would be illegal, though I never came across any until a month or two after it went GPL. |

Friday, July 13, 2007When will this thing just die. 6 years? More? Of ripping other peoples work.. C'mon.. Enough is enough.. |

Saturday, July 14, 2007I'd say the entire concept of ripping in a non-profit scene is debatable. |

Sunday, July 15, 2007Probably wouldn't have hurt unless contact, language, or time issues were a factor. We have a pretty lengthy discussion about general mod mentality versus practicality if you have a chance to give your input in the other thread I linked to. |
