My hope is that they'll be willing to make their 11 year old code public domain, or perhaps donate it to FAO. I don't expect the people I sent the letters to to respond immediately, so it make take a a week or so before I push again. And then it will be with snail mail, so give it some time and let's see!

I wish MEGA were around to campaign for this since I believe he was on the original dev team for the game.

especially since when the released src /tools with the monolithic DX it had qhull GNUish programs paid for by EDU kthx

even if the gnu program was used in the build path for artwork it should still apply to the engine, amirite?

This game has such small numbers now, perhaps they will be willing to loosen the terms of the license. I mean, they released the source code, and I'm not sure many people truly believed that day would ever come.

Yo.

Why don't you create a subreddit for freeAllegiance? The Mount & Musket mod for M & B Warband has 1000 users: http://www.reddit.com/r/RedditBrigade/ and it may be easier to admin the general purpose part of the community there.

Last week this fraps made it to the front page and they got 200 extra suscribers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHYxBYe6SJs
