Could you please link to the altered source code. Thanks
Also a question at this point.. Would Luc@s be forced to make this open source?
Since the AssaultCube readme states:
And the Cube readme states
So the zlib license seems pretty open in that point but the addition:
Could mean that any change has to be licensed under the same license and since this is an open source license it could mean that the source code has to be provided. But it also states that this is "specific to Cube" tough it's not really clear if AssaultCube does not want to use exactly the same license since they refer to the license as "z-lib like" license.

Since the AssaultCube readme states:
Quote:The AssaultCube source code is mainly based on the cube game/engine and uses the
same license (z-lib like). See README_CUBEENGINE.txt
And the Cube readme states
Quote:You may use the cube source code if you abide by the ZLIB license
