Hi, why make it all so complicated? FGFS is GNU GPL (2/3?). Report that scam to the FSF (Free Software Foundation). Maybe you will get nothing better back than just to report that video to youtube (show prove to youtube, and they must listen) but at least their scamming activity becomes more popular and that fact that FGFS is free software.
As far as I know you are legally allowed to do what they are doing as long as you provide the full corresponding source code and where you can get it freely (libre). As I checked their webpage out, there are no such things: No link to flightgear.org and no provided full source code. So for my understanding they are violating the GNU GPL. You SHOULD report that to the FSF and maybe gpl-violations.org Regards, Roland On Wed, 2011-06-08 at 09:05 +0200, Arnt Karlsen wrote: > .."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.
