From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OpenMW is still being updated? I thought it got DMCA'd by Bethesda a few years ago
yep
not that i ever heard of, for all their faults (and there are many), bethesda has been pretty good about not fucking with people making their old games playable
Good to know, might do a MW play through soon then
I think that I might have got some other project (maybe all the GTA III, VC, SA takedowns) and the openmicrowave android fork stopping development and getting taken down mixed together
They published a big release just a month ago, so I guess?
