Re: SEIV as OPEN SOURCE?
Releasing the source would really only hurt a company if they plan on liscening the engine to another company (reason that iD has not released the Q2! source). Just because you release the source, doesn't mean you have to give out the data files (all the .txt files, pictures, etc). I know that you can create your own, but thats the point. If someone is gonna pirate it, it won't matter if the game is open source or not.
My two cents.
