I thought doom, doom2, and quake were released as freeware. In which case it would be ok just to offer the cds for free download... -Original Message- From: Stroller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 3:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] (OT) Doom On Nov 6, 2003, at 3:29 am, Chris wrote: Would anyone know how I can get my hands on the full version of Doom.

So its not ok to offer the cd's for download. Just clarifying a bit... code meaning the core or I think they usually call it the engine. It's what makes the game act the way it does or the bad guys/monsters act the way they do. The data/artwork/sound is what makes different games simply look different. I recall a few years back where it was ID Software I think, would license their popular game engine to other companies. People often commented on how similar the games were (outside of the look).

Nope, the engines for those (and wolf3d) have been released under the GPL, but the game parts (doom.wad, etc) are not, and thus you still need a copy of the game. -- Chris I Q: Do you know what the death rate around here is?
