An anonymous reader writes "Apparently the video game ICO for the Playstation 2 is using GPL-licensed code from libarc. Sony could end up having to release the source code for the entire game!"

  1. And the favicon of that site? by Asmodai · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Funny, that favicon of the linked site (http://astrange.ithinksw.net/ico/) is a direct use of the Japanese shoshinsha (aka wakaba) mark to denote a unexperienced driver: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakaba_mark

    I would not be surprised if this mark was trademarked or copyrighted in some way.

    (And yes, this is a semi-hearted attempt to point out that it's easy to fall into such traps.)
