[QCLUG] game company about to go under , open source to buy out there games

[Noah J Norris]

its to get the whole cheeze  ( code , art , client and server ) all gpl 

players will be able to run there own servers , add content etc.
so ^will be hosted by the open source comunity  ( perhapes there maybe some 
paid for servers with nice bandwidth , there also could be single player or 
you and 5 friends on your own server . ) 

wow they raised 26,000 eros in 1 day so far 

maybe we need to start funds to buy out companies and release all there code 
gpl ....

adobe  
autodesk 
microsoft ..... do what they did to all those small companiesm, wonder  how 
much open source / donnations could raise to do this or is it even possible . 
release all code gpl 
	anyone catch the slasdot article about why it took so long to release vista 
and microsofts code managment system. just sounds like a nightmare to get 
anything done in any amount of time , by the time the shutdown menu will get 
finallized in vista we see 2 releases of gnome kde xfce , and e17
