Hi Ari,\
Even though the source code for SimCity is open source the license
agreement shipped with it expressly stipulates that other companies are
not allowed to modify the source code and make derived works from it.
Here is the licens agreement section that applies.
Quote
No trademark or publicity rights are granted. This license does NOT
give you any right, title or interest in the trademark SimCity or
any other
Electronic Arts trademark. You may not distribute any
modification of this
program using the trademark SimCity or claim any affliation or
association
with Electronic Arts Inc. or its employees.
End quote
So with that in mind there is still allot of legal rangling involved
with taking the source for SimCity and trying to make an accessible version.
