Package: BattleTech: Total Control
System name: bttc
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

BattleTech: Total Control is an implementation of the once-popular game of 
BattleTech for the PC, both Windows, and Linux. It is coded in Python and 
C/C++. It is based on Qt and PyQt, as well as OpenGL, and the PyOpenGL. Qt for 
windows is not free, but neither is windows.

There are several components of the game. There is a BattleMech editor, a 
vehicle editor, a map editor, as well as a scenario, unit, and game editor. 
Finally, there is the actual game, which consists of the client and server.

The actual game of BattleTech was created by FASA Inc. It is now owned by 
WizKidsGames. However, this project is only an implementation of the game, and 
it will not infringe on the rights of the copyright holders.

This project is already several years old. It exists at SourceForge.Net. After 
hearing about SourceForge\'s move to non-free software, I have decided to move 
everything over here. You can view the website at http://bttotalcontrol.sf.net/ 
and the project page at http://sf.net/projects/bttotalcontrol .

Don\'t be afraid to email me - I am happy to answer any questions. I hope by 
having my project over here, it will expose GNU to another group of computer 
hobbyists.

Thank you!
