The point of the GPL is to keep open source open, and to give credit where credit is due in terms of reused code...
There is nothing ethically wrong with making a profit from GPL'd code.
to quote from the GNU GPL foundations...
"Nobody should be restricted by the software they use. There are four freedoms that every user should have:
* the freedom to use the software for any purpose,
* the freedom to change the software to suit your needs,
* the freedom to share the software with your friends and neighbors, and
* the freedom to share the changes you make."
The original developer is probably just upset that he/she didnt make money from it...
i though it was a decent enough game tbh. But all in all i had completed it in 2 days (including break for uni and work) and was dissapointed that it didnt last longer:/ I remember back to the older Tombraider games that i sat for hours working out even the most simple puzzles! Maybe it was just too predictable, but the 40 hour expected gameplay would seem about right......then again maybe im just a complete nerd:D
