I have a better idea: Crytek should open source it so people can legally do those things
I thought they fully sold the license to Ubisoft? Ubisoft would violently execute an employee on the spot if they suggested open sourcing something that will net them anything more than $0.23 per year.
No idea, but open sourcing old game engines certainly hasn't harmed iD Software's income. It sure has gained them near-universal praise though.
