 All these binaries have the limitation, that they are based on code released under the general public license (GPL). As the game code used in the QVMs was never released under the GPL but still falls under the intellectual property rights of [[..:..:development studios:Raven Software]], the tripartite of server code, client code and game code misses the part of the game code (QVM) to be released entirely under the GPL. This also means, certain fixes, that were applied to the game code by Raven Software, cannot be simply integrated into the open source code of the various incarnations of free EF. All these binaries have the limitation, that they are based on code released under the general public license (GPL).

-So to say the very first incarnation of ioQuake3 based EF versions. It already contained many improvements but is not maintained any more today. Today it's better to use [[#Lilium Voyager]] or [[#cMod]] right away, simply because that's where the work that Thilo has invested, is being continued so more recent problems are fixed as well. See also [[star_trek_-_voyager_elite_force#pak92.pk3]].+So to say the very first incarnation of ioQuake3 based EF versions.

 There is another variation of EF based on ioQuake3 source, the cMod. First checkins are from 2017. At this point, some more information should be added here. The original resources can be found [[https://stvef.org/cmod.php|here]]. According to the maintainer of the project, Noah "Chomenor" Metzger, the goal is not so much in a conservative direction as is with Lilium Voyager. So there are more experimental features included. There is another variation of EF based on ioQuake3 source, the cMod. First checkins are from 2017.
