AFAIK there's never been any definitive proof that it's Gamespy. That being said, Gamespy has certainly caused cross-platform legality issues before, for an example close-to-home here see:<div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus&date=2004-12-06&time=23-43-09">http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus&date=2004-12-06&time=23-43-09</a></div>

<div><br></div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>Strangely enough, I even seem to vaguely remember some outright statement that it wasn't, but I can't quite recall or find this (we are, after all, working on a timescale of years at this point). The problem is, we can try and parse the exact words and contort the permutations until we think we've figured something out, but ultimately that gets us nowhere---</div>
<div><br></div><div>---and, what's worse, it forces folks like Ryan to be very, very careful with their words (especially in the shadow of any NDAs dangling silently out there). So, ummm . . . hmm. Well, I'm going to throw this out there again, if anyone actually has the know-how, it's quite possible that the difference between the UT3 Server Beta binaries and the full server binaries will show the culprit. Remember, in theory the full release of the server had whatever offending piece of middleware stripped from it, but the beta shouldn't. So in theory if anyone has the talent to decipher such things, comparing the two versions should give us some measure of actual evidence.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It seems unlikely that it's straightforward, since AFAIK nobody has done such a thing, but in case anyone wants to take a crack at it I'll do the only thing I really have the skill to do, post a link:</div>

I agree, but why do you think it's Gamespy? Almost
every piece of middleware used in client is used in
server, ported to Linux.<br>

It is being done, the engine is
being ported to Mac:

Linux gains more popularity.</div>
