Title: [Dave3D] Welcome to Development hell
Post by: fromhell on May 06, 2009, 11:40:55 PM
3D Realms is shut down and so now there's no legal entity to contact with on the whole Dave/ling issue. Which sucks. I was hoping for a more logical response from Scott Miller than a "NO YOU CANT" from Siegler.

Welcome to Development heaven

3D Realms is shut down and so now there's no legal entity which could sue / prosecute / harass on the Dave/Ling issue.  Which is great!  Now it doesn't matter what Scott Miller thinks or Joe Siegler says.

:) :)

3drealms is still around, the next-gen asset makers just aren't.

So you can still contact 3D Realms meaning scott miller or george broussard, you can make a post about it on the 3DR boards, joe siegler can't mod it down, he doesnt work there anymore. :)

Since then Gearbox and Take2 own complete control of the Duke Nukem IP, and they're more lax about it. Maybe I can get away with this Dave3D project now without blind hypocritical repercussion about what I can't do with the GPL source code (like...... make content to make the game run from absolute scratch with no stepping on anyone's IP- The MOST LEGAL way possible?)

That would be great.  I say go for it.
