FSF pledges $60,000 to the Free Ryzom Campaign
The Free Software Foundation has sent out a press release announcing that
has pledged $60,000 to the Free Ryzom
Campaign. This campaign is seeking to purchase and free the Ryzom
multiplayer game, the owner of which is currently in bankruptcy court
(LWN covered this
campaign last week). "The Free Ryzom campaign represents a unique opportunity for the free
software movement and the emerging free gaming field. A fully free
MMORPG (massively multiplayer online roleplaying game) engine and
client/server architecture would allow the development of a myriad of
universes, each one evolving its own philosophy and unique content - but
sharing in general technical improvements.
" According to the
release, this pledge lets the campaign raise its bid to €200,000.
