The only time that this issue should concern the FG project is when someone tries to stop or limit the redistribution of the FG project's work.

Hi all,
I am bit taken aback by this commit. Is it really where the Flight
Gear community wants to go ?
As far as I understand the GPL, it is legal to rename an application
as long as the renamed application is still under GPL. So what is this
commit intended for ? Furthermore, do you honestly think that such a
simple trick has any chance to work ? And most importantly, under what
authority are we allowed to claim that a renamed copy of Flight Gear
is an Invalid version ?
FWIW I am the author of a few lines in the code of JSBSim and hence of
Flight Gear, and when I released my code under GPL, I really meant it.
If somebody tries to make money out of it then so be it, as long as
the software is sold under GPL. I am not doing that for a living but I
am all for enforcing Flight Pro Sim and the guys from eBay to release
their copies under GPL. However I will certainly not discourage them
from selling Flight Gear or whatever they call it in nice colourful
boxes.
IMHO this commit is pointless and I am concerned that it may be the
first step of many towards restriction of use.
Cheers,
Bertrand.

I'm flabbergasted : disregarding the GPL to protect the GPL ? How novel.. Really, really misguided, and it showcases a prevalent undercurrent with some of our members, who think the GPL means something else than it really does : when something is done that doesn't sit right with their vision of the GPL, they sneakily delete content from cvs (been done before with aircraft functionality, leaving them broken in my local copy without warning) No one has a say in how GPLed software or data is used as long as it's in compliance with the license, no matter how distasteful it might be to one's sense of propriety. Trying to get around that, is a breach of the GPL, period. Funny when the same people who do this kind of stuff, also think the GPL is just fine for data, code, etc. as long as people abide by their vision of the GPL. There is no personal vision involved : it's a license, and quite clear to boot as license goes. You either comply or you don't. This is not complying. Please roll that back, if the original author won't.
