As long as they don't call it "Team Fortress" I doubt they will get in trouble. Some other TF-style mods have used different class names; I'm not sure if it is for legal reasons or not.

On the programming side of things, we have CVS set up and I'm working to clean up the SDK a little and make the player movement behave as much like current TFC as possible. Our other guys are working on other game elements such as weapons and grenades and once the SDK project setup is definite they'll integrate their work into the CVS repository. We're aiming to separate our code from the existing SDK file structure as much as possible, because it's likely that Valve will release updates to the SDK during the course of our development and we want to be able to port our existing work over to a new version of the SDK base easily.

Sev actually made several sample grenade and weapon models around year ago, and has just remade a couple of grenades that will almost certainly be the final versions. No screenshots yet, sorry :)

I'm pretty sure you'll need HL2 to play this, as it'll be a mod of HL2.

Yeah, you will have to buy HL2 or possibly another Valve Source-based game that can accept being modded. You'll almost certainly require Half-Life 2 though.

I don't know, this is a modification for Half Life 2 so I think you'll be safe with just steam TFC
