Arx and Doomsday shouldn't be on there as they benefited from the source release of their games. The rest were built from the ground up.
I would pick CaesarIA and OpenMW, if I could pick two!

I agree, but annoyingly I was told I was being "pedantic" by another site owner who is also an award supporter.

Well there is a big difference being given a basically finished project with Arx source and building a new engine from scratch a la CaesarIA and OpenMW. If that is pedantic, then so be it. I think they are belittling the achievement that the OpenMW people have achieved thus far.
Not to say that the Arx Liberal is project isn't cool. I love Arx and am glad they printed it to Linux. They just didn't have to do much work themselves, that was Arkane.

So what? They have had it easier. If that is your point then you are PEDANTIC. At the end it is Open Source and thats what counts.
If you want to complain, then complain to the companies which doesn't release the source for their games.

It is completely unfair to have projects like Arx in with projects like OpenXcom which is the point, Arx had the entire source code from the official developers handed out, it's in a league of its own.
I wasn't complaining about being pedantic, I like having a good attention to details. My point was made earlier, it's not right for it to be in a list with projects that started with nothing.

I got that, but where is it unfair? It is still a lot of work to port the code, or do you think you just fire up the compiler and it is done?
Sure they didn't have to start from scratch, but the games are released as Open Source, and that is what counts.
I didn't say that you are complaining about being pedantic. What I ment is that if you are complaining about that the other projects didn't have the source from the "original" game, then please go and complain to the company which holds the source without releasing it.

I am not complaining about the other projects not having the source code from the original games *sigh* and I think you know that already.
I was saying it's not fair to the projects that didn't have the source code to start off with. They should have been in different voting polls to be fair to them, that is just my opinion. I didn't get a say in it either due to communication issues I didn't even know there were discussions on the projects being included.
Also, this argument is so boring it's unreal, I am not an open-source zealot, so no I won't be bugging companies to release sources. If you want to go right ahead, now move on from this argument I have made my point.
