The end of Rock Patch

[Blade]

I don't understand why EA don't just open source old game engines like this, they would get massive good PR (which they are in dire need of IMO), their old games would get patched to prevent cheats and exploits online (they already turned over the running of the online community to the community) and they would get ported to alternate platforms giving things like TFD better legs in the market as people use use linux and mac would buy them and just download the native binaries to run the content. The only problem I can see is with the requirement of external crypto libraries like blowfish and the bink libraries which I assume aren't free to link against.
