[ut3] Official release date

[feywulf]

Given his experience in prior games he has ported, I doubt that Ryan would have used a library with an incompatible license in the porting process.  If there is a legal issue involving a library, it would most likely have been with a library used in the original Windows version which couldn't be replaced in the Linux client.

Of course it could be something other than an issue with a library's license.
