Did i miss something? This doesn't seem overly relevant to the matter at hand.
What we have here has little to do with differing approaches to FOSS, ....
You must have missed something, some of the complaints that I've read within this thread is targeted at the tremz team closing off access to the OpenWolf development source. Which they are completely within their rights to do. Meanwhile, if unvanquished continue to work on a fork of OpenWolf they need to by rights send the patch to the OpenWolf development team when they release any binaries. It is this issue which I hear is causing some of the problems.
I agree with the open bazaar method of development, but the complaints of the unvanquished dev team are only cries of foul where there is no right. It's the same sort of cry as when a child cries out that he was promised a chocolate when his parents only said "We'll think about it". (please note, that I'm not in any way inferring at this point that anyone is a child or even behaving childish)
Regarding the numbers of bugs in the unvanquished alpha, um, that's what you would expect from an alpha, get over it. If it were a full release, and it had the sorts of bugs that have been reported, only then would you have a valid point.
I said it once, I'll say it again. People need to take a chill pill, and get some perspective.
While this is legal, it's rude towards those who contributed into that codebase and disrespects the idea of FOSS in general.
Even more so, please note that TremZ is using the commits and assets from Unvanquished while TremZ doesn't care to give in return in a normal fashion. Over a majority of the Unvanquished team is fine with this. While TremZ will release the source in a tarball (and I'm unfortunately unsure about assets they generate, if any) form probably, it becomes difficult to cherry-pick what Unvanquished wants from the TremZ codebase like TremZ does from Unvanquished. Once again, TremZ closing their source in this fashion is just them being rude while Unvanquished is trying to be generous. To throw salt on the wounds, TremZ developers are often caught with their foot in their mouth talking trash about the assets and commits that will end up in their codebase.
Also, the assets they claim they're going to use do not have a license provided with them. This does not mean they can use them conventionally as they claim. Actually, if the author of the assets wished it, they could revoke TremZ's ability to use the assets at all at the author's discretion. However, everyone seems to be wanting to open the assets in a free and open manner for everyone to use.
Using the above, one can conclude that the only reason that TremZ is "opensource" is because they are required to be through the derived code they use. This is my main reason why I do not appreciate TremZ is because they are simply demoloshing the philosophy of the FOSS community. Unfortunately, this is become common as of late... see libav vs ffmpeg. However, I can respect that conflict more than this one because Volt doesn't seem to be making any logic at all by causing this entire fiasco and is going well out of his way to make himself look like a douche.
EDIT: I'm also starting to doubt SamOz's sanity.
EDIT2: Also, if Volt hates the community so much, why does he care if the alpha is bad quality or not? SamOz claims releasing the alpha (aka "rubbish") is "disservice to the public", the same public that Volt has insulted on various occasions.
