Heres an excerpt from the News Source (http://weblogs.asp.net/bsimser/archive/2008/01/10/simcity-source-code-released-to-the-wild-let-the-ports-begin.aspx)
This past holiday (I've been bugging him since November about it) my good friend Don Hopkins (http://www.donhopkins.com/drupal/) got a lot of work done on the finishing touches on releasing the original SimCity source code under the GNU General Public Library (GPL). The code won't have reference to any SimCity name as that has all be renamed to Micropolis. Micropolis was the original working title of the game and since EA requires that the GPL open source version not use the same name as SimCity (to protect their trademark) a little work had to be done to the code.
Download the Source Code Here (http://www.donhopkins.com/home/micropolis/micropolis-activity-source.tgz), What is initially released under GPL is the Linux version based on TCL/Tk.
Any of the Homebrew Coders on Any Platforms at DCEmu interested in Porting Sim City to any Consoles ?
