: Wait, fileball lets you put a description in, right? So, upload the source to
: fileball, upload your scenario, and at the end of the description of the
: scenario, add a sentence "get the source for the engine here "
: pointing to the source you just uploaded.

: Put the same link in the downloads section of the scenario home page.

: I think that's easy enough :)

With an easy solution, that's definitely the way to go. I am still amazed that an old game holds such a following to warrant it. However, I would caution that if for whatever reason, fileball becomes less feasible (as unlikely as that may be), this particular clause should not be used to detract scenario developers from making an complete one click download. After all, the issue is more about good faith than the letter of the contract.

For one thing, there is no serious courtroom precedence on the matter. In spite of the well thought out position of GNU, they offer a biased opinion. If (for example) Microsoft one day decided to sue a Marathon scenario distributer for not fulfilling that part of the license, the judge could rule either more or less strictly than GNU's opinion on what constitutes the same source.
