This project looks illegal <http://code.google.com/p/quake-android/> and should be reviewed for removal.
The project hosts only a download of a ZIP file containing game content (textures, maps, models, etc) for Id Software's famous game "Quake". Why not the app file too? The quake engine is open source but the game content is NOT. These pak file sizes match the files supplied by my retail version of Quake (purchased via Steam), so I don't think they are reimplementations (ala Freedom), and I've never heard of any. It's only published downloads are sharewhere and *full* data files. See the entry in the Android Market for Quake<https://market.android.com/details?id=tk.niuzb.quake&feature=search_result>. If so, then those files are copyrighted material of Id Software and the download of http://quake-android.googlecode.com/files/quake1_data.zip is pretty darn illegal. Only the sharewhare files may be redistributed IAW whatever Id Software's terms are. Id Software never released the game content for free. Only a shareware campaign and the game engine code. That is the norm for most of Id Software's classic games. If they had, I'm pretty sure Linux distros wouldn't be shipping "Freedom" WADs instead of real DooM I/Doom II WADs! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
