Initially as the games are new, ID Software had paid Tom Hall and others for crrating Commander Keen. Then they hope that renevue from sold copies exceeds the money which ID paid to programmers for making Commander Keen in order to get profit. But it's only hope - there's no legal right to profit. H...

So I have no problem if $4.99 was used to support the community. If it was so I wouldn't have any problem with $5. As soon as I get somewhat more money I'm even willing to donate a bit for authors of best ever mods - Terror of Outer Space and The Eight Accumulators as sign of thank for fun - same wi...

There are two very different ways to estimate the value of Commander Keen. Based on the fun Commander Keen deserves some price, IMHO it's about $20 to $30. But based on the ideology that perpetual copyright shouldn't be allowed, all Commander Keen games should be GPL. I have no problem if Keen can b...

I think so, too. But it's only an example of symbolic price. So if the price of these rights was negligible compared to my wealth (only the relation matters, not the absolute value), I'd do it in order to counteract the perceived perpetual copyright issue which I don't like. I think there's too litt...

Emergency File Set against boredom - what would you include?
What I want is that absolutely every storage device has copy of Commander Keen. I mean I copy Commander Keen 4 and 6 to every single USB Stick which I have. So the risk to get bored and have no access to the best mean against it - Commander Keen - is very low. The ideanis to make a small folder with...

Purchase rights to commercicial episodes and make them GPL
No, this suggestion isn't for my sake. I don't care at all if Commander Keen costs $5 (AFAIR) or it's free. $5 is almost nothing for something which you pay only once and then use forever without annoying DRM. The fun is worth $5, I can easily afford this price. It's only about your ideology. Would ...

Keep old versions of saved games when these are overwritten
It could happen that you overwrite your savegame to find out that you didn't want to overwrite it. But compared to all modern hard drives and even flash drives the savegames are so tiny that everyone could afford keeping several versions as backup. For example some utility could be set to keep unlim...

The only reason why we have some historical documents from the past is the fact that there used to be some non-private things which may be kept indefinitely. Now the historical preservation is something which is no longer supported in Europe in replace with rendering entire public space private. Sin...
