Myst Online goes fully open-source

,----[ Quote ]
| In a startling move, Cyan Worlds has decided to release all of URU Live's
| assets to the public as open source. This includes the client and server
| architecture. Amazingly, they aren't simply releasing it into the wild and
| leaving it alone; Cyan has decided to hold one Myst Online server shard open
| for players to have a centralized world, despite the fact that others can now
| freely put up their own Myst Online servers.

I couldn't easily find the platform requirements for mGBL.


Read it, Homer: Out of all the newly-FOSSed games mentioned, it seems that none are Linux-only,
