Re: [Trisquel-users] Another free engine of a commercial Game: Serious Sam

I think the agreement was more complicated. I think making non-free software  
free is just as hard as making free software non-free, you have to get  
everybody that contributed to agree, but it would be a hell of a lot easier  
with unreal engine 1, because that's when they had less people developing it.  
I bet MS would love to put the NT Kernel under a GPL compatible license so  
they can get BtrFS working on Windows, but the NT Kernel touched too many  
hands making it impossible to track down. That's why when you have in house  
software and you want full control of it, it would be wise to add a "It's not  
your code, it's the company's" clause to the contract.

That said, I would add money into the bounty pool to lobby every studio that  
contributed to the unreal engine up until the point of Deus Ex.
