So when are you going to release the source code under GPL?

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2007 1:56 am**

Never.

If Uplink's source code was released under the GPL, everyone could freely download it, modify it, and redistribute it, and even sell their modified copy if they so wished. All of IV's competitors and their grandmas would be selling uplink clones saying 'BETTER THAN UPLINK' or 'PLAY THE ORIGINAL'.

Not very nice. Besides, though I'm a FLOSS fanatic, I still support these guys. There aren't many people who make such games now.

@welterde

Have you ever actually read the GPL licensing information? -_-

GPL FA Q wrote: The GPL does not require you to release your modified version. You are free to make modifications and use them privately, without ever releasing them. This applies to organizations (including companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it internally without ever releasing it outside the organization.

But if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL.

Thus, the GPL gives permission to release the modified program in certain ways, and not in other ways; but the decision of whether to release it is up to you.

Have YOU ever read the GPL? or did you mix it up with the LGPL?
Because what i meant is, that if someon would start selling products based on GPL-Products, they have to give everyone, who has bought, their product, access to their sourcecode, which has to be GPL in that case

You may have meant that but that's not what you wrote. You said "only if they include their modified sourcecode in the copy". There is no "if" when the code is covered by GPL. So perhaps you are the one who is confused since you have now made two contradicting statements.

what i meant was, that they only can sell patched GPL'ed stuff, when they include the modified sourcecode

Did any of you actually notice the hidden link in KingAl's post amongst all your bickering?

Here it is if you guys missed it: http://www.xkcd.com/c225.html

xkcd comics rock the world.
And why argue over open source license agreements? Let those corporate suits do it, so they can get plenty of headaches, then ending up consuming so much coffee and aspirin they end up wildly reacting with each other, giving them some kind of cardiac arrest which puts them out of their (but mainly our) misery.

I'm just amazed that people still thinks a sequal will come even tho it's stated it will not. LOL

Posted: **Fri Mar 16, 2007 3:07 pm**

I'm not as I have learnt the truth of it.

People are generally fucking idiots.

Introversion

There will be NO Uplink 2 or Uplink Online
