Well, let's say I buy the "Slayer's guide to Fuzzy
Bunnies", photocopy the entire book, with the
exception of the License section, and pass it around
to all my friends.

Who's liable here?

Me?

The store that sold it to me?

The publishing company?

How about the author?

Also, any binary I'm likely to compile would also fall
under the GPL, as the base source for the game I'm
designing this for was released under same. Under the
GPL, if I recall correctly, you MUST include the
source along with the binary, and any further
distribution of your code without the source is
actionable. So if someone were to do this, I don't see
where *I* would be at fault, for something *they* did,
which was in violation of both licenses. Especially
if, As I surely would, I were to note, that
distribution of the Mod without the source was in
violation of several licences.
