README

        

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.
