They are not claiming a copyright - they are claiming that "FPS is
copyrighted and protected under the United States and other World Wide
Copyright Laws"
Which is an absolutely *true* statement.
It is a true statement intended to deceive and mis-lead - but
none-the-less, completely true.
I think they just point at flightgear when asked for the source - which
probably does *not* fulfill the letter of the GPL.
