...considering the already excellent clone LinCity, which has a much better GUI than the outdated SimCity Classic. If they had opensourced SimCity 2000, well..

Initially the original SimCity is primarily release to get the game on the XO laptop and will get some enhancements as pointed out in the article to take advantage of XO system. EA has the final say whether SimCity 2000 and its sequel will be open-sourced.
