Zoals sommigen van jullie mi chien weten, is John Carmack vrij boos over hoe er met de software van Slade (maker van QuakeLives word omgegaan. Hier wat uit zijn .plan:2/24/00

Some people took it upon themselves to remotely wreck Slade's developmentsystem. That is no more defensible than breaking into Id and smashingsomething.The idea isn't to punish anyone, it is to have them comply with the licenseand continue to contribute. QuakeLives has quite a few happy users, and itis in everyone's best interest to have development continue. It just has tobe by the rules.2/23/00

I see both sides of this. Your goals are positive, and I understand the i uesand the difficulties that your project has to work under because of the GPL.I have also seen some GPL zealots acting petty and immature towards you veryearly on (while it is within everyone's rights to DEMAND code under the GPL, itisn't nece arily the best attitude to take), which probably colors some of yourviews on the subject.We discu ed several po ible legal solutions to the i ues.This isn't one of them.While I doubt your "give up your rights" click through would hold up in court,I am positive that you are required to give the source to anyone that asks forit that got a binary from someone else. This doesn't provide the obscurityneeded for a gaming level of security.I cut you a lot of slack because I honestly thought you intended to properlyfollow through with the requirements of the GPL, and you were just trying toget something fun out ASAP. It looks like I was wrong.If you can't stand to work under the GPL, you should release the code to yourlast binary and give up your project. I would prefer that you continue yourwork, but abide by the GPL.If nece ary, I will pay whatever lawyer the Free Software Foundationreccomends to pursue this.Lees meer op de site van Slade
