There are several different licenses governing ZDoom source code, but a few
of them (notably the Build license and the original Doom license) are not
free licenses.
I'm not sure what the
By the way, one thing I should note about Minetest: most mods are under a
libre license (usually WTFPL), but the Minetest forum's main mod section
permits restrictions on non-commercial distribution, and a small number of
mods have such a restriction.
Also, I haven't been successful
Minetest and the mods people made for it are godsent.
The problem with most games I tried out is that they are incapable of NAT
traversal. That means players either have to set up their own server, or
forward their ports, neither of which is something a casual user can always
simply do.
I hope you've filed bugs with the games so they will

Don't know about its online capabilities, but i agree on battle of wesnoth
being an excellent game.
Thank you! That looks like a very nice resource! I haven't stumbled upon your
website before, but it names some games I also haven't found yet. I will
definitely check at least some of them out and probably report my findings
back here, unless someone does first :)
Regarding the topic of this thread, I suggest The Battle for Wesnoth which
can be played offline, connecting directly to a friend's computer, in the
official server or in an independent server. Using a server doesn't requires
NAT traversal.

I haven't figured out how to host a multiplayer Freedoom game. Odamex
supports it, but I never got to learning how to do it.
Come on guys, don't forget Doom!
You can play DM, Co-op and such with the original iwads or FreeDoom (A free
culture replacement).
Mana World! It's the only MMORPG that I really like. There aren't any complex
abilities or classes or strategies to memorize, you just go out and fight
monsters with friends :) which to me, is what an MMO should be about. They
have lots of regular updates and it's already a pretty big world.
my favorite multiplayer experience on gnu is Scorched3d -

very funny to play wit few friends online or on a same pc!
With Minetest you have to port-forward, but you can usually find a decent
server in the server list. Minetest is an Infiniminer-type game (like
Minecraft).
There are usually a lot of OpenArena servers. OpenArena is a variant of Quake
III.
I have a website dedicated to listing gpl mmo's. You might find it of some

Hello!
Lately I've been thinking about how games affect our social lives. I have met
a lot of friendly and interesting people thanks to multiplayer online games.
Unfortunately, most of such games are non-free and therefore not an option.
