Bug#468325: ITP - Urban Terror -- Quake 3 based first person shooter



Moin Moing,
while Urban Terror does not rely on the Quake III Arena game data anymore, there is currently still a legal conflict between the (closed source!) Mod licence they use for iourbanterror, which is actually based on the GPL licenced ioquake3 engine, as written in the comments here: http://happypenguin.org/show?Urban%20Terror&showall=1#comments

"no it isn't. the q3-sdk-license says, that "modifications" may only be used with the original quake 3 arena game. and ioquake3/iourbanterror clearly is not quake 3 arena. they do distribute their "game" as standalone with the ioq3-executable, so they have to put the game source under GPL as well. if they don't want that they have to stop calling it "standalone" and distributing the executable. - caedes"
Ciao, Fabio
