Oh boy, I hadn't heard about Harbour until now; earlier today I was looking at the Wikipedia page for id Tech 5, and it says it uses Clipper so I was really scratching my head wondering how they pulled that off and why. Now I know, thanks for mentioning it. :- )

They also seem to have added a similar section to the id Tech 6 article, it's possible they're just an insider. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2015&diff=prev&oldid=610736224 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2015&diff=prev&ol... But looking at other edits from this address it sees like they might just be a vandal; or at least somebody who is very confused about how Wikipedia works.
