      It's surprising as John Carmack said in a tweet (a few months ago) bad things about the GPL and said he was more for BSD.

                    Old game lovin

                    This is excellent to see some old game lovin' in the open source area. People often times like to focus on the new stuff, which is perfectly fine, but sometimes you just can't beat an old, simple game for passing away hours mindlessly.
