A Free Civilization/Colonization game

[Head]

This was in the SourceForge.NET newsletter I get:

February Project of the Month: FreeCol
---------------------------

FreeCol is a turn-based strategy game based on the old game
Colonization, and similar to Civilization. The objective of the game is
to create an independent nation. You start with  just a few colonists
and a strong dependency on your home country. You can fight a War of
Independence after building colonies, trading goods, fighting off rival
European powers, and encouraging the rising rebel sentiment.

Other than looking at the home page I haven't tried it.  Best thing is, it's free.  Thought someone might be interested.
