“Loki Entertainment announces today the creation of a CVS server
to facilitate public access to its Open-Source projects.”

“Loki is a leader in the Linux gaming arena, working with
successful game publishers to port their commercial PC and
Macintosh titles to the Linux platform. While it is their
responsibility to closely guard the publisher’s original game code,
Loki has taken the initiative to make available to the public any
improvements to the Linux software code.”

One reason we’ve been successful is that we create Open
Source tools to replace proprietary code in our games
,” said
Scott Draeker, president of Loki. “We give these tools back to the
community in the form of Open Source projects. We hope other
developers will evaluate our tools for projects and choose to use
them rather than the proprietary alternatives.”
