Updates on Warzone Licensing. As you can read in the forwarded mail Virgil is still in touch with Alex McLean and I am optimistic that there will be good results for us.
As we probably don't want to wait with the 2.0.5 release till February (even though it was delayed for loooong allready), I think it is best to get some readme's and license files written, which say that we are in touch with Alex and working on getting the clear statement from him that everything released on 06.12.2004 in that file is GPLed and till then provide everything under the GPL as this is what we think was intended (good faith). Is someone volunteering to write that? Best is probably if he followed the discussion and knows the mail from eg Dan Ravicher and those various other mails we gathered on this topic. I guess we will keep both source and data together in one archive (tar.bz2) on release and let distributors seperate them if they need to? If all goes well there won't be a need to split it anyway by the end of February. --Dennis ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Subject: Re: Warzone Licensing Date: Montag, 13.

Did I miss anything? > > --Dennis Hello ! * Sorry I didn't respond sooner... my job has become all consumming the last few weeks (moved from Colorado to Arizona, set-up new household, training 2 new field op teams, & so on..). * You haven't missed anything, Dennis. * This time of year is super busy for game developers / distributors, holiday deadlines, etc. A.M. won't have time to look into this licencing clarification until after the new year. That's 'bout it. With Coyote making the WZ downloads available @ wztoys - should be able to deal with this situation until Jan - Feb '07 when we can realistically look foward to some progress on the SCi/Eidos front. * I'm used to this slowness from the many years it took to get the source released - WZ is not even on their (SCi's) priority list and they certainly have no intention of taking any action like has been suggested by GPL overseers. * If there is any movement before the end of the year I'll let you know immediately.
