"When Jagged Alliance 2: Wildfire was released, the complete source code for the original game was included on the CD-ROM"
Trust me the source code was released by the devs themselves.Quote:

It's only Jagged Alliance 1 which has source.Quote:

What license is the source released under?

You will have to ask the authors for permission as this line of the license doesn't sit right with me:
Since the PSP is technically a commercial product, this may break the license. However, I am not 100% sure if the 'product' refers to hardware, software or both.Quote:
Commercial purposes include, but are not limited to, running a business, licensing, renting, or selling the Software, distributing the Software for use with any commercial products
Considering that people are currently porting JA2 to linux, I don't think porting it to the psp will be a problem.

Linux is not hardware based.. Its software based.Quote:

So as long as you're not selling dedicated hardware for it to run on, but just distributing software to run on "commercially made hardware", it think it is well with-in the license bounds.
