Okay. So, let's look at what actions should be taken. Given that I am not a copyright owner, I have nothing at stake beyond community membership.
Regarding the images. We now sufficient information for individuals to assert their copyright on the individual using them. Regarding flightgear, I am still trying to connect the dots on how we can be sure there is a GPL violation. Arnt, Can you describe which parts of the GPL you believe he is violating? Since this list is a public record, I would like to stay away from potentially libelous claims, and stick to verifiable facts. Also, what would your expectation be for any action. There is no morality or advertising clause in the GPL, and almost all of the rights conferred by the GPL are really oriented towards distribution - of which no one has been a recipient. Realistically, if he ships the source on CD, I don't think there is any wrongdoing from flightgear's perspective. Regards... Matthew Regards...
