Can the mod give me the reason for why my change to this listing was denied?
I spent hours refining those changes, i got "Your changes to Unreal Tournament was denied" in my notifications, with no context. i also can't see my changes on the site/user-portal anywhere and don't want to redo it from scratch.
If that information is available somewhere, please can someone explain how i can access it so i can make the needed amendments.

Mislabelled as Open Source, it uses the Unreal Engine EULA (which legally restricts use, distribution and modification), put this here so people would know, for some reason my change hasn't been made yet. See here: https://imgur.com/a/smX1xUN

Sorry,no UT for Linux now...what a shame... i dont use Wine,and i hope never use it
The latest UT, can build on GNU/Linux (its not a quick process i must warn), its source available upon signing the EULA. The older ones are not source available and don't even distribute GNU/Linux binaries, you can use wine or its fork: proton to run them.
I am curious to know why you dislike wine.
Personally, I don't know any alternative to run non-native proprietary windows software on GNU/Linux directly. If someone knows of a non-wine based solution that doesn't depend on running Windows, let me know.
Its also worth noting: Proton, is wine but with tweaks/patches and integrations of gaming focused technology like DXVK (DirectX-to-Vulkan). The Wine and Proton teams collaborate both ways, its mostly unpaid work (i know some people are paid, this is going by contributions as a whole) for kernel level anti-cheat games if they make a workaround they can get sued and its a very hard technical problem to translate windows syscalls and bytecode to POSIX/Linux, most of the brains behind it are far smarter than me, its worth keeping in mind the bigger picture, when we complain about the current technical limitations (its come a long way also).
Opinions: Personally i think its pretty mature on the gaming side for casual gaming. (non-anticheat)
Kernel Level anti-cheat workarounds is more of a legal issue than a technical one long term, I prefer free/libre games anyways, and i am not much of a gamer anymore, i enjoy programming & tinkering more most of the time.
Anyways that's my food for thought, hope someone found this useful.

It's been updated.
If the open source/free version is still available Epic has made it effectively impossible to find. If you want true open source/free you are better going somewhere else.
UT2004 is one of the best games ever! It is an older game (as of 05/2011) but with new mods coming out all the time (ie: Killing Floor) it's like the Energizer Bunny®, it just keeps on going and going!
