Bug#224286: ITP: dday -- D-Day Normandy, the original Quake2 WWII modification of First Person Shooters.



Hello

>It's not entirely obvious to me, but is this the game data, or 
>the game engine, or both ?

It uses the quake engine, but the game program, and game data is diferent. And 
they are GPL. It uses some of the original textures, but only a few. If you 
have the "download file" option active you can download the textures from any 
server that has the original CD with all the data.

Yes, Quake2 engine is GPL, only the data files are closed.

Im still working on this mod(ification) using the Quake2 sources and diff from 
Debian sid. Im now contacting all map and texture makers to have a license 
file for their maps and extra textures.

Sorry to not answer before, but i couldnt find this bug page before.

Good bye
