Hi Robert,

I'm writing you in the hopes of having the Frogbot released under GPL.

Many years ago you wrote Frogbot for Quake 1, and later ported it to QuakeWorld.  About ten years later, Frogbot has remained the pre-eminent "bot" for Quake1 players today.  We, the current QW community, would benefit greatly from integrating the Frogbot codebase into the current Quake server codebase.  As you know, John Carmack released Quake under GPL as a Christmas present during December 1999.  So, we want to conform to the law as best as we can, and we need your permission to do so.

I'm writing for your blessing in this endeavor.  We would easily do the grunt work -- putting GPL headers, etc.

You can see the current state of affairs here:
Mod: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ktx
Client: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ezquake
Client Package: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/nquake
Server: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mvdsv

Many thanks,
Phil
