Linux Desura game client released as open source Desurium

Ubuntu Vibes reports that the Desura game client has been open sourced. Progress on work to release the client as open source was slow as lead developer ‘lodle’ was taking a break.

However, all the necessary work has now been completed and Desura has been open sourced as Desurium, with the code available GPL v3. However, all the artwork and other assets are still owned by Desura.

Releasing the game client as open source is a great step forward and will not only improve the client itself but will also attract more developers, resulting in more games for Linux.
