Very nice,
but change \"greater\" to \"greatest\".
Currently it makes no sense.

I like Red Jelly Beans!

Yeah, cool :)

And I hope those \'Cheats & Tips\' and \'Solution & Walkthroughs\' sections stay empty :D

While the PS license isn\'t actually \"Open Source\", the code is GPL, so maybe \"freeware\" isn\'t the appropriate term, though I don\'t think \"Free Software\" is, for the above reason. \"Open Source\" IMO would be the closest fit, but of course the devs might view this differently.

I never thought of that, technically, PS is called open source...
Xordan, I hope that too.

Yes, but IMO it doesn\'t even hint at the real beauty of PS: the freedom as in speech, not (just) as in beer (with the restrictions mentioned above).

While the no cost part certainly is a great benefit, the openness part IMO is of even greater value. If I were to distribute an OpenSource product, I\'d not wish it to be classified as mere Freeware, as I think OpenSource and Free Software are superiour in terms of benefiting everyone.

Freeware is inappropriate terminology.
Freeware usually implies a complete program, that was completely made by one group with no outside input.
OpenSource, means that anyone with the ability to effectively contribute can do so, it is a much nicer term.

I\'m not sure why you put USER in quotation marks... of different POV for that matter. I -think- I understand what you are talking about though.

Well I meant to say that I\'ve defined (and considered) on my site, Planeshift as a freeware, because is free to play and no cost for the user, and my site users usually are people who are looking for good games with no costs :).

I know that there are a lot of licenses, but I\'ve simplified them (in my mind) when I\'m looking for quality games that can be listed on my little site :)





Note: well... my site was (initially) born to learn PHP :P
