Free Radiant May Have Some Substance To It

Interestingly enough the recent claims that Radiant is free for any use may actually be accurate. Originally disregarding this as yet another wild claim (of which there have be many over the years, regarding both Radiant and Hammer), I was rather surprised to see that it had more substance than I originally thought.

I'll reserve judgment though, as some things about the license still bother me. More than anything it may be that it's so similar to the previous licensing and all official comments refer to the license change, but avoid saying free for all or commercial use. :/

The information that came out of the GG community thread was fairly helpful in putting a perspective on the license - it'll be cool if those guys are right. It's a shame that the conversation took a downturn, I was curious to hear what others had to say on the matter. As always I'm amazed at how quickly some people turn to sarcasm - how can one person's opinion really bruise an ego that bad?

Anyway off on a tangent now, all in all it was an interesting discussion and I appreciate those who contributed helpful information - I'll definitely keep an eye on this in the future.
