Ja, from what Ryan "our man Icculus" Gordon has said it was a piece of middleware that the company in question wouldn't license for Linux. That's the part where it's almost conspiracy-level nonsense, since it isn't even that Linux would or wouldn't be a profitable port, it's that some company hates Linux enough they don't even want to make money off of it. Ryan claimed we wouldn't believe it even if we heard what it was, so, my bet's always been on SpeedTree ;) Not because it makes sense, but because it doesn't, and that'd be the most ridiculous roadblock for a port ever.<br>

If I remember correctly, the issue was a need for a license which
they could not obtain for linux. Looks like everyone else can get
it, but just not linux. I am thinking we lost on that.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
