Approximately two years after the release of the game, Crack dot Com decided to release the game's source code. Also the shareware release's game data (excluding the sound effects) was handed into the public domain. In 2001 ''Abuse'' was adapted to SDL multimedia library. The SDL version allowed easy porting to modern platforms, for instance [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Linux]]/X11 and also the Mac version has been updated to run on [[Mac OS X|OS X]]. Over the years, the game became available for many more platforms, for instance [[BeOS]], Nintendo [[Wii]] via [[Wii homebrew]], [[OpenBSD]], and in 2009 [[AmigaOS 4]]. The game has also been ported to the mobile devices, to [[iPhone]]/[[iPod Touch]] under the name Abuse Classic.
