Couldn’t someone already do that if they really wanted to.

Make a copycat of Forumwarz?

Sure, it’s possible. But it tooks years of coding to get Forumwarz to this point. Any copycat would have to put in an equivalent amount of work.

If the source code was available it would just be the issue of setting up a server properly. In other words, days of work instead of years.

And if Open Source has worked for other online applications, why wouldn’t it work for ForumWarz.

Well I can’t think of any games like this that have done it. Maybe a content management system can be open source, or blog software or a message board. But an entire game?
