.."protection under the GPL", depends on a willingness on the part of the copyright owners to actually exercise their rights under copyright law to defend or enforce their copyrights.
..if there is no such willingness in any FlightGear author, there is no legal protection of FlightGear, and any scamster will get away with it, exactly because they can claim rights to their business on your work, exactly because you exercise your right under copyright law to choose not to enforce your copyrights. ..in that current scenario we also lose our "right" to call them "scamsters", and they may win lawsuits on us for crimes such as harassment, denial of trade, slander, etc. ..so you may want to apologize to the scamsters, or, get off your ass and enforce your copyrights. Your call. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
