The ScummVM developers contacted gpl-violations.org and sent a
letter to Atari. The Atari lawyers responded, first denying the
problem, then, after discovering that the Nintendo Wii SDK
explicitly prohibits the use of open source software, threatening
to take action against the ScummVM developers for the reverse
engineered Humongous Games code they said appeared in one of
ScummVM's game engines. This says Sev "turned into a completely
different, much more complicated case" with the options being go to
court or arrange a settlement.
It is amazing how warped Freetards minds are when it comes to
imagining GPL "legal" victories.
Anyone who is neither blind nor an idiot understands that "... the
Nintendo Wii SDK explicitly prohibits the use of open source software
..." means exactly what it says. GPL, BSD, Apache, Artistic license or
any other open source code is explicitly prohibited. The only power
of the GPL is its ever present stench of bullshit.
