Quake1 included now that GPLed?
Hello. Quake1 was recently GPLed. Does that make it a candidate to become a debian package for the games section? It would be a great addition to the games section. - Harlan -- Harlan Crystal E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: 'Harlan Crystal' www: http://sdf.lonestar.org/~harlan/

Quake1 was recently GPLed. Does that make it a candidate to become a debian package for the games section? It would be a great addition to the games section. There have been several quake packages on there. xquake, squake, quake2. xquake works very well for me. -- Bart Szyszka [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:4982727 B Grafyx http://www.bgrafyx.com Join AllAdvantage.com and get paid to surf the Web! http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=ARD582
