I was very pissed off at WC when I first saw this; this is the reason that I switched to QOOLE. When I first saw this thred, I was prepared to judge Lithium in the same way, no matter how much I like QOOLE. Although I don't plan to profit off of any of my levels (I have received too much free stuff to do with Quake not to give back for free), this restriction is a major sticking point. However, if what Paul Hsu is saying their reasoning and how they will handle it (charge on a case by case basis) is true, then I understand, and now think that maybe I misjudged WC (even though I wouldn't pick it over QOOLE now. Maybe putting the info about the terms of the commercial license process in the agreement would stop this argument when the license is read, rather than having to deal with outcry like this. BTW, WorldCraft is definitely not better, and IMO not worse either, just different. A current QOOLE proponent and user.
