Re: RTR source code
@OP He may have chosen to take it down, which is his prerogative. The best thing to do is ask him directly. Apart from that, assume he no longer wishes it to be open source and respect his right to make that decision. I find nothing wrong with having or continuing to have, or distribute code that was open source at one time, but no longer is. I don't think that's stealing as you made the choice to put it out there. You can't exactly just go back on that choice with no repercussions.
@4 Ehh maybe, but he was at least asking for source code that presumably was available at one point. I say that because I never knew about it, so I can't confirm nor deny if it is true.
@all It's rather a sad state of affairs that people are openly skeptical of others who may wish to study code. There is nothing inherently wrong with studying code, as long as that is what you're doing, studying, and drawing parallels as to how you'd go about doing a similar thing in your project. If you've ever distributed leaked source code, were party or the party to leaking source code, or someone who has released a very close copy of one game using most of the original code and modifying it only very slightly, then shouldering this responsibility is on you. You all have done this, and the burden rests with you.
