morgue, you said it best here: "To make sure of the first point, we have to ask FSF people to give us their official view. Then if it rejects FB's claim, number of choices is two: FB should back away from his claim, or, re-license PHP-Nuke under another, maybe the new, almost free license. In my opinion the latter will be the worst case."

That is exactly what needs to happen. It is the copyright holder's responsibility though to do this not yours, mine, or anyone else. If FB won't get a legal opinion and then enforce the license himself either as currently written or under a relicense, it's none of our concern. As such, you need to calm down and not meddle.

The partial mailing list I pointed out had some other interesting discussion back then on this specific area by those who are non-users. FB is trying to use 2-c but people on the list pointed how he is not in compliance with GPL. For example, the copyright notice itself is worded incorrectly and there are notices in the code saying people cannot modify certain portions of the code. There was disagreement on whether PN is considered interactive in which case the notice is only required on startup.

Anyway, let FB fight his own battles in this area. He is the only one who can enforce his copyright.

Dude what is your F**king problem?

I didn't start this Crap YOU DID. Im just saying every dam* week someone is B*t*hing about this subject.

I tried to be cool with my response and gave an alternative suggestion that I believe satifisfies ALL parties. You don't like it? Tough. I fought the battle, and Im done, it's a no-win situation (As you just discovered).

But you want to sit here and call me a self-justifying GROUCH and where the F**k did I say I was bored?

As for the lollipop, I was agreeing with what SOMEONE ELSE wrote, not you and you can take the lollipop and go stick it. Hows that?
