FreeCol is an open source project that aims to provide a free Colonization clone. FreeCol is released under the GPL.
Quote:
FreeCol 0.9.2 has been released.
This is a bug/feature-fix release, the main changes being:
* The increased native land claims in 0.9.1 have been reverted to the more moderate 0.9.0 behaviour, following comment that this made the game too difficult. This feature will be back in a later release, but only after implementing the feature that at least exempts your first colony from having to buy its land (as was the case with the original Colonization).
* Fixed a serious bug in privateer combat.
No new features were introduced with this release, and saved games from previous 0.9.x versions should remain compatible. We hope this release will provide a stable, playable and enjoyable version of FreeCol.
