It would be nice, if a couple years down the line they put the source to STW/MTW in the public domain. A port to linux would be nice, the base code could be updated for newer MS OSs and driver problems, and the potential for modding would be excellent. And since there is all this upside, it's not going to happen.

Who actually owns the rights to the source? Is it solely CA/Sega, or do EA and Activision have their hands in it as well?
