I am very excited about this decision. I have been hoping for it for some time. I can't wait to see what the future has in store and get to know the inner workings of the program I have known for about 12 years.

Excellent news. I'm looking forward to finally being able to contribute to the community. New scripting and dev tools will go a long way to making ZC accessible to newbies, and an open-source code base will allow that to happen.
What parts of the code won't be made available under GPL?
The custom quest decryption key, and possibly some of the code related to custom quest decryption. As outlined above, we want to keep older quests as secure as possible while still releasing most of the code.Originally Posted by bobby_light
Cool, so there'll be a compiled DLL of the quest encryption/decryption library then? For each platform?
This really is a great move, as you'll get lots of patches from folks, and there usually aren't too many forked versions of projects like this, at least any that have a following. Folks would rather contribute to the "official" community version.
Will there be a build farm? And hopefully modern source control such as git?
Those details are still to be determined -- if you have any experience or advice, please let us know.
