Nonsense. Trolltech cannot make Qt less free, according to a legal guarantee they made with KDE. http://www.kde.org/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation.p hp

Nevermind, I misinterpreted the parent's post.

I thought he was saying that even if the engine and dev tools are available previously, that it will be more than a year after the release of Doom 3 before a Doom 3 engine game will be released.

Even then, the post he was responding to was wrong if id licensed the Doom 3 engine before the game came out. We might see Doom 3 based games coming out during the next year.
