Title: Is this game open REALLY open-source?
Post by: TheRealUMaster on November 05, 2016, 01:42:54 PM

The installer states that the game is licensed under GPLv2. GPLv2 requires all executables to have an openly available source-code attached to it. Well, this raises a question regarding gamex86.dll. There is no source code for it. Also, the license displayed when running the installer, doesn't mention the gamex86.dll .
So can we have a sourcecode of it?
Or urgently modify the license.


Thanks.

(Also, are the default (and hr4) textures open-source? (or at least free-to-use?) And what about ctp1 and so?)

This has been covered many times before.  XBain and jitspoe describe it nicely in these threads.

The HR4 textures are open source.  Many of them are made using a program called Filter Forge which procedurally generates textures and the filter forge source files can be found here:

Other raw media assets are in the mediasource directory as well.
