It all makes sense to me now...I can see it clearly. Carmack truly is a genious, a master manipulator of everything and everyone.
You see, it goes like this: He gives some punk coder the keys to a Ferrari in exchange for setting up this breach of the GPL. Now he gives the punk enough money to barely afford a lawyer. Two months later Carmack's well paid, well fed, and well educated team of contract law professionals has manufactured a favorable legal precedant for the GPL. The wondrous simplicity of it all!
Oh, I can see him now sitting in his big black tower rubbing his hands together and laughing...laughing...laughing.
