Here's the text of that article:
What started like a little taunt suddenly got another dimension. The GPU project has modified the GPL license a little by adding Asimov's first law of robotics.
Meanwhile, we have been written be members of the Free Software Foundation, asking us to reconsider the change or at least not violate their copyright by removing the preamble and altering the name. We are aware modifying the GPL is not allowed by the GPL license itself, but did it without bad intentions. We go consider what is appropiate. After all, we're not after a legal conflict with the FSF. Give us some time for internal debate, we'll keep you informed.
There is one reply to the article:
1. The modification of the GPL was a bad thing and the FSF called you on it.
2. Unless you reverse engineered the gnutella protocols your self, you've probably used a GPLed code base and by adding a restriction you have violated the GPL as I understand it and the GPL is the only reason you can use the code so you're probably commiting copyright infringement, a bad thing.
3. Consideering things the Military has given back to the community such as the NSA donating, Perl and SELinux and the US Army donating GRASS the non-military clause is at the least a bit rude.
perhaps a non-binding statement that the developers hope that the software will be not be used in offensive millitary applications or weapons developement would be a workable compromise.
It would appear that the FSF has slapped them down. There goes the "all open source advocates are looney lefties" argument.
Do you think our RT will understand?
