    Look, I get it: they named their library "dumb" so they felt they just have to be cutesy with the license file, but please don't. If you hate licenses that much, https://spdx.org/licenses/WTFPL.html is probably for you

  • misc-licenses

    A collection of various licenses, with mild commentary upon them.

    For people who want more cutesy licenses, find them here: https://github.com/benlk/misc-licenses

  • UnrealEngine

    UnrealEngine 1998

    That would be absolutely great if it were to happen, especially if they'd choose more liberal license such as BSD.

    I'm a sucker for software rendering and unreal engine 1 has even more advanced features in that department compared to the original Quake (1 and 2) engines.

    Would love to port that to wasm if this ever happens.

    There is https://github.com/RedPandaProjects/UnrealEngine but I don't know what are the legalities and such...

  • UnrealTournamentPatches

    Epic has some agreement with the old unreal community where people have access to the source and release patches.

  • osgameclones

    Open Source Clones of Popular Games

    You might get a kick out of: https://osgameclones.com/

    Hopefully you find something from the past that can bring even more happy memories!

  • almost-of-zzt

    (Almost) development backup of ZZT's original source code.

    It took a very long time for the source code for e.g. ZZT to be published, precisely because they apparently lost the code. https://github.com/asiekierka/almost-of-zzt Even then that had some third party comments removed from it.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

    I've opened a PR to nixpkgs for this, includes full instructions to get it running. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/337069
