- This is the complete source code for Quake 2, version 3.19, buildable with
- visual C++ 6.0. The linux version should be buildable, but we haven't
- tested it for the release.
- The code is all licensed under the terms of the GPL (gnu public license).
- You should read the entire license, but the gist of it is that you can do
- anything you want with the code, including sell your new version. The catch
- is that if you distribute new binary versions, you are required to make the
- entire source code available for free to everyone.
- The primary intent of this release is for entertainment and educational
- purposes, but the GPL does allow commercial exploitation if you obey the
- full license. If you want to do something commercial and you just can't bear
- to have your source changes released, we could still negotiate a separate
- license agreement (for $$$), but I would encourage you to just live with the
- GPL.
- All of the Q2 data files remain copyrighted and licensed under the
- original terms, so you cannot redistribute data from the original game, but if
- you do a true total conversion, you can create a standalone game based on
- this code.
- Thanks to Robert Duffy for doing the grunt work of building this release.
