  • Guarantees that the project will be maintained forever.

Personally I'd have a lot of fun hacking the project.
Thank you.

I managed to convince Dege to open-source dgVoodoo 1 (Glide wrapper only) a few years ago when he abandoned that code base in favor of dgVoodoo 2.

dgVoodoo 1.40plus : http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?file … &menustate=55,0

dgVoodoo 1.50 Beta3: http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?file … &menustate=55,0

He released them as GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1.

It is possible he may do the same with dgVoodoo 2 when he abandons it, or he may not - it's up to Dege.
I am not sure that he would do it before he's abandoned the project based on precedent

dgVoodoo 2, I would not expect anytime soon if at all.
