The Chaos in the Nexuiz Community

^ +12 for Ms. Supa

From what I gathered since the announcement, this is all just a blind stallman-powered smear campaign. It doesn't help when they pepper that on the either, like some rebellious movement against themselves, especially the theory on asset taking (who would want to scavenge that old 'art' when you've got a professional team of industry artists that have proven to do better than that?) It especially bothers me that IllFonic is portrayed as a bunch of wrongdoing thieves in these accusations, when many of us here at I3D knew who they are for years.

IllFonic did not "steal" Nexuiz.

It has to stop and yes there is no debate about it - Nexuiz was always Vermuelen's baby. Unknowningly to the community complete with DidNotDoTheResearch to the development history, Nexuiz was originally intended to profit. The console version is simply 'attempt #2' at that. It can't get any simpler than that. It's only when they can't get it for free under a specific license the whine bicker starts coming in, despite the fact it's impossible to have a GPL game on the Xbox360, PS3 and Wii.

I've contributed to Nexuiz in the past (weapon sounds, effects) and released addons as well (jaguar, felicia, etc) - and I find this new game completely awesome and I sincerely wish Alientrap and IllFonic luck, both at a fortune they deserve as well as luck at dealing with the .

Also... Nexuiz.com. Got a clue yet?

This is really cool news.

Another success for Open Source software.



I hope the source code is released anyway, Is superweird that these guys don't want to, and It may create a problem if latter, some guy prove that DarkPlaces contains uncreditec code. But I trust on LordHavoc on replace any offending code.
This is totally against the spirit of the letter. The BSD license exist for what this people want to do, anyway... but talking about the spirit of the letter is nitipicking.


And about names.. well... theres a Apple Music and theres a Apple Computers. The Apple computers are inteligent software people, that have the Mac computer and the iTunes store. The Apple Music are these idiots greedy bastard that don't want people to use the beatles music in movies and games (I wish die in a fire). Theres not overlap or very small overlap in Nexuiz PS3 and Nexuiz PC.
I suppose something will be made to give freedom to the Nexuiz OpenSource project to continue use the word by any way want.
But "GPL Nexuiz" is a horrible name... what about Open Nexuiz or Nexuiz Community Version ? ...

got to agree there GPL is'nt nessesarilly synonym with everything must be free thats totally up to the involved parts, and if they agree more power to them for making something that is actually commerciable.

they should hire LH tbh hees one damn hell of a programmer

in time i can only see something good coming from this (blood infusion to this old game engine).
