This is incorrect. The GPL does not mandate the GPLing of your code, only that it must be released under a GPL friendly license. BSD/MIT licensing would be a prime example of that.
Since when? The BSD crowd constantly deride the GPL because of its viral nature.
He said the program he is modifying is already GPL. I believe he is not the original author of said program, I could be wrong.
GPL 2.B. states:
2b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
That is a restriction placed on the OGC part of the code. You cannot do this under the OGL
It's entirely possible and legal to use GPL code alongside OGL code if the OGL is deemed to be GPL compatible by the FSF or more importantly, the copyright holder of the GPL'd code used.
Yes, but the OGL does not allow you to do it.
Of course, if you're the copyright holder of the entire codebase, you can GPL parts of it and OGL parts of it and be fine.
Yes, but the original author, to me, made it sound like he's found an abandoned project and he want to convert it to d20.
