So, just found this here interesting article on Kotaku:

In Tribute To Lucasarts, Raven Releases The Source Code For Jedi Knight II

“Raven is sad to hear about the closing of LucasArts today, we respected them and enjoyed working with them over the years,” said the studio, in a statement sent to Kotaku Australia. “We wish the best for all the talented people who were let go and hope they find good work in studios in the industry.

“We loved and appreciated the experience of getting to make Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy for LucasArts. As a gift to the persistently loyal fanbase for our Jedi games and in memory of LucasArts, we are releasing the source code for both games for people to enjoy and play with.

There is no official support for the source code and, according to Raven, it’ll most likely take some work to get it running with retail assets, but that’s for the modders to figure out!

There are sourceforge links for both the Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy sources, and people have already started digging through the code

Jedi Outcast: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jedioutcast/
Jedi Academy: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jediacademy/
