Good. > (basically re-branding this which I understand is also within > the terms of the GPL) Agreed. That's allowed. And unethical, as you let your "customers" pay for our free work and let them find out later. You mention that "your" offer is based on FlightGear. But it's not only "based" on it. This *is* FlightGear with some camouflage. You are deceiving your customers. Most of them would probably not have paid $27 for something that they can get for free from us. > No I am not a lawyer or pretend to be one and if there is > something that I have done incorrectly, Selling a rebranded version is OK. Using our screenshots is a clear copyright violation! We only (used to) allow that for reviews and announcements of FlightGear. You don't have permission. (At least you don't have permission for any of my screenshots! Not that you are using any ATM.) > Once this goes live I also wanted to contribute some funds > to the project developers, [...] This would make us profiteers of your deception, and I don't think we want to be part of that. But that's Curt's decision. People should know that FlightGear is free, and if they want to support the project with money, then they should buy from here: http://www.flightgear.org/cdrom/ Ripping someone off and donating parts of that is only OK if you are Robin Hood.
