Very nice info. I have been thinking for the last couple of days that can one survive in the Gaming Business if the Game's source code is Open Sourced or GPLed? Usually a game is sold in binary with its code being proprietary and undisclosed. With a concept similar to web services, a company called Nevrax ( http://www.nevrax.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php ) releases its games under GPL license. It generates its revenues by charging for the gaming servers which it keeps online. Seems like a very nice idea to me! Any other thoughts on how one can use the open source for / in the Gaming Industry? -- o1p2e3n4g5l6 http://saleem.a.ansari.googlepages.com/ http://www.jmilug.org/ http://www.csijmi.com/ Linux User #414799 (http://counter.li.org/) _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
