Ah, seems I didn't read this closely enough.

Well, that explains it better. I was already wondering... ;)

Wait Strife`s source code is lost, game never got ported! It`s for DOS only!
I love Strife, vanilla only! :D
Also I was trying to find a resell of a retail copy of the game, but never succeeded...
And Chocolate Doom is awesome!

Could "Javier" possibly be the "J" before Hardy?..

This is an old post, but:

Yes, Apple store doesn't allow GPL

There are a few GPL-licensed projects on the App Stores. You may have heard of one.

For what it's worth, I've added a warning to the Blasphemer page on Google Code. That's as far as I intend to pursue the issue since, as far as Blasphemer licensing is concerned, this probably isn't illegal as long as they haven't stripped the credits, just colossally douchebaggy. However, I've sent it to Jute's attention, and if he feels there's grounds to take things further, he has my blessing to do so.

Lost, and found, in my opinion. The Chocolate Strife project is as near a 100% accurate recreation as is humanly possible. We even tried to follow source code conventions we suspected existed in the original to the degree that was possible.

I wonder: is this AppStore Strife release a gambit? http://www.doomworld.com/vb/post/915362

Thanks to everyone who has reported this and emailed the appropriate people. I'll give Zenimax Legal a yell as well.

Free software licenses do not mean piracy of our favorite games, let alone some idiot with an Appstore/Market account making money that the original developers should be making.

Frankly I'd leave them out of it.

All Zenimax needs is more excuse to start going after community projects on baseless vague accusations of "trademark dilution" etc., or to be able to use this as an excuse as to why future source releases are a bad idea.
