Everyone that has looked at the gp2x archive will know that, as it's been ported (same with Q2, and I believe the source to Q3 is available as well). However, the source code to the game engine is no use without the games data files, which are not free and still sold.novaslogic said:

Open Arena (Q3 just other free artwork) is open source and can be ported and edited as you please..
As for quake 1 engine, it's not abandonware since Id still sells and supports it, but it's released under GNU GPL for open source, you just can't use it and not share your source unless you pay them money for rights to do so.
It's free in the sense that anyone can use it as long as you obey the rules of GNU GPL, otherwise you have to pay, same goes for Q2 and Q3 engine ;P

That's not QUITE true. They're trying to hire several Linux developers for the server side of things and for the Client side of things. If they manage to do that, it'll be a change. Now Epic, on the other hand...they've made a recent change for the worse. They've taken to squelching inquiries about the now 5 month late Linux Client of UT3 in their forums by either deleting the thread or locking it.novaslogic said:
Indeed. But, keep in mind, the ENGINE is the only thing that's licensed under that way. Your game code (which is scripting that runs ON the engine as a VM...) and the content that goes with it can be licensed as you see fit. The Q1, Q2, and Q3 engines being GPLed has brought some wondrous stuff and you actually WANT to keep in compliance with the license on the engine. For example, if you've got a Q1 title, you can pick up dynamic lighting, etc. from DarkPlaces, which is a Q1 derivative under the GPL- and not have to do a migration to Q3 unless you want to.Holokauston said:

apparently a few years ago, Valve released an arcade version of Counterstrike called 'Counter Strike NEO', for the Asia market.
it ran on Linux, using the halflife engine (GoldSRC). it would be interesting to find that software, and see if it can be modified to run Halflife.

If we are refering to the same thing, it was only recompiled via winelibs. Which only works on x86 hw (so definitly not on Pandora)

what are we referring to? Counter Strike Neo? or the bastardized Quake-1/Half-Life running on linux?

The official arcade things obviously.
Don't expect anyone but valve to have the sourcecode.
