Actually, both of you are right, because all what Joerg said is true, and yes.. the PS3 version will be licensed by his authors in a different license than GPL (his authors are Id Software, Lord Havoc and others) so the GPL is not to apply here. wen you are the author of a game/app and you are developping a open source proyect, you are free to make a closed source fork (since you are the author) -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje. _______________________________________________ ioquake3 mailing list ioquake3@lists.ioquake.org http://lists.ioquake.org/listinfo.cgi/ioquake3-ioquake.org By sending this message I agree to love ioquake3 and libsdl.
