Changes: OtherOpenSourceShooter

Revision as of 19:16, 15 March 2008

ok, it is pretty hard to find shooters which are completely open source. So here's a list which should clear things up:

Real Open Source Shooters

FreeDoom - everything modified BSD.
Open Quartz - everything GPL.
OpenArena - everything GPL.
Nexuiz - everything GPL.
TUER - code source under GPL, artworks without licence
Tremulous - engine GPL, content mostly Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike.
AssaultCube comes with full source code, available under a zlib like OpenSource license.

OSShooters somewhere between

Cube - Partly open source engine (network code is not, neither does the contents)

OpenSourceEngine but closed content

These games use an Open Source game engine, but the content is only free as in beer, not freedom in the true sense of the word; they are effectively more like freeware games.

AlienArena
Warsow
Argonium
Revolution
Sauerbraten aka Cube2
World of Padman

and freeware (=non open source)

We'll just list them, as they are not important for our project:

Americas Army, F.E.A.R Combat, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, War Rock
