What constitutes done with it? When was the last time any development or effort was put into any thing DukeNukem related? What about Windows 3.1 (oh sorry, that code is still in Windows, isn't it, heh)
I have read the license text, I have read the actual court cases where the GPL folks have sued companies for not providing access to their code for x amount of years.
If he's too drunk to login, just how is it that his spelling and grammar are superior to most sober folks around here? Or that he could use caps properly for grammar and emphasis? Seriously. I don't think s/he's drunk. Just too lazy to login.:p
I should have known better than to click a link to anything on Encyclopedia Dramatica, doubly so since it's a link from a/. AC, triply so considering it was labeled a "man train". Epic fail on my part. You sir/ma'am, otoh, have won, but only this round.
No, because I hate being told that if I make a modification to the code, I have to not only contribute it back, but maintain the updates and the original code for x amount of years. Forget that. I'll maintain it (and provide access myself) for as long as I wish.
Besides being infectious (mainly aimed at the GPLv3 as I'm most well versed on the GPL (at least up until GPL2))? Limiting? Nah, I'll take a BSD or almost any other copyfree license over the GPL any day.

Perhaps they have squirrel farms where they raise squirrels just for this purpose?
Also, squirrels are a major pest in several parts of the world (England, various locales in the US, etc.)

True open-source means you don't have to license your contributions the way someone else says
So did I, so did I. ):
what makes you think they are Hungarian? They could just as easily be Romanian, Czech, Slovakian, Serb, etc.

Well I feel better now. I'm going to go out and buy an iPhone and use those GPS features and apps because "Apple Can Do No Wrong"(TM) /sarcasm
Read further down in other threads to see my irony comment.
I think the resulting irony would destroy the universe. Lets hope no one else ever thinks of it (or takes it seriously).
I guess they felt they could violate their own patent?!

No, as a matter of fact I'm not, but I prefer copyfree licenses (like the Apache and BSD licenses) over copyleft.
I don't hate Jesus, but I imagine he doesn't like the GPL either as it removes freely receiving and freely giving.

Tell that to the GPL folks (whom have successfully sued in court that the terms of the license be upheld).

Completely agree. I was turned off when I saw it was CC BY-SA and GPLv3'd. Hate both licenses. Hate.
