Re: [Trisquel-users] Source code for two Stars Wars games released under the GPL

[onpon4]

Any game engine being made free is a good thing, but what we really need is  
for current game engines to be free, not just old ones. When they release the  
engines late like this, it's not much more than a publicity stunt; they have  
found that they are not making money from the games anymore, so they decide  
that it can't possibly hurt to make the engine "open source". In other words,  
they believe that free software is against their interests, but pretend to  
support it by releasing old engines.

I don't want to discourage releasing old games' engines; late is much better  
than never, but we must not be made content by it, falling for their cheap  
publicity stunt.
