ID Software

Hats off to this company. It has been our role model/company for a couple of years now. Not only because of the great/wonderful/superb/thrilling/(fill in your own positive adjective) gaming titles (Doom and Quake series for example), but for the fact of the gems they provide to the open source community. With every new title release, ID software releases their previous title source code to the public. So for example, when Quake 4 came out, Quake's 3 engine was published to the open source community.

Its just that these guys are super cool. They beleive that they should share their knowledge and technology and in the same time they provide a challenge to their competitors.

Hope we will reach this level some day..

    LOOOl Thats the spirit, i think they might be using it for some sneaky business objectives, such as finding interesting partners from the small companies like u :D as the most of the major ones are on the same level already :) after all the objective of OS is to leverage collobration and minimize competition
