Notwithstanding how nice Lincity-NG might look, opensourcing SimCity is a great move, IMHO. I have always felt that the logic, or AI, or whatever you want to call it, in the actual SimCity games to be better than the Lincity ones. Who knows -- maybe the LinCity developers can take the best bits from SimCity and make LinCity even better.

At the end of the day, opening up SimCity can only be beneficial.
