Freeserf is an attempt to reimplement the game mechanics in C using the cross-platform SDL libraries. The game still requires the original game files to play. Widelands is inspired by The Settlers, but creates a whole new game with its own free graphics.

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or source:
“Agnosticism is a perfectly respectable and tenable philosophical position; it is not dogmatic and makes no pronouncements about the ultimate truths of the universe. It remains open to evidence and persuasion; lacking faith, it nevertheless does not deride faith. Atheism, on the other hand, is as unyielding and dogmatic about religious belief as true believers are about heathens. It tries to use reason to demolish a structure that is not built upon reason.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
“By poeticizing love, we imagine in those we love virtues that they often do not possess; this then becomes the source of constant mistakes and constant distress.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
