The Dark Mod is NOT open source. The media files are under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 <svn.thedarkmod.com/publicsvn/d…>. The -NC clause is in violation of rules 1 and 6 of the Open Source Definition <opensource.org/osd>.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •You called it an “open source game”. This is false.
The media files (which are ESSENTIAL for games, especially this one) are proprietary. It’s illegal to redistribute the game commercially as-is.
That’s against one of the CORE values of open source (and free software).
Please just fix your article. Thanks.
FACT: The Dark Mod is a proprietary game where only PARTS (i.e. the code) of it qualify as “open source”, but NOT the whole game.
