<div dir="ltr">Hi Team,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After all of these years and some consultations around, I
finally came up to the conclusion that we could release both
Discworld games as freeware.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is all based on a fax from 2005, I am attaching a copy
which I am going to distribute instead of the license file.
Per Colin Smythe in our correspondence with him: "<span
style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial">It is our policy
NOT to give an official licence if we have already stated
that we have have effectively granted freeware."</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now, we're coming to a different area. Finding a way to
distribute the game. The games are pretty big, almost 2Gb
combined. We were asked to limit our monthly bandwidth
consumption, which makes putting the game straight away a bit
problematic.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Moreover, another big game is coming to be freewared, that
is the Hopkins FBI, which is another chunk of versions of
about 5GB worth of data.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thus, after talking around, I have an idea of putting up
our torrent server, and limiting it, say, to 500kb/sec. That
will give us 1.3Tb of monthly traffic, which is well beyond
our thresholds. Also. I can help from my home with a more
speedy upload bandwidth. But the main idea is that the users
will be helping each other, especially during the peaks after
we announce the availability of the games.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Additionally, I could put the files on the <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://sf.net">sf.net</a>, and
thus, offer both the direct link and .torrent file from our
site.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, what do you guys think, should it be the way to go? Or
we could just put it on the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://sf.net">sf.net</a> and not mess with the
torrents at all?</div>
