new Screenshots of Rage Harde released : Comment 104 of 135 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 11-Jul-2002 09:54 GMT | In reply to Comment 99 (Steffen Haeuser): It's not a "stupid theory" it is the license agreement that you agreed to.
As I said, we live by this license agreement every day, if you weren't willing to accept the terms of the license then you should have refrained from giving copies of the binary code to anyone, including beta testers, soccer mums, and Olympic athletes. The license itself warns you of this.
Just in case you still think we're pulling your leg, here's a quote from John Carmack, the man who put the Quake II source under the GNU GPL.
"I am positive that you are required to give the source to anyone that asks for it that got a binary from someone else."
This quote is from the QuakeLives situation, which is very similar because it's all about a developer trying to weasel his way out of the GNU GPL. Slade argued that his "testers" were under NDA and had waived their rights under the GNU GPL. Carmack eventually offered to sue him, and he backed down. |
