</div>That is not clear because it is in fact utterly false. It's not how<br>
the GPL works, it's not how licensing works, it's not how copyright<br>
works, and everything you think you know about this topic is<br>
completely and totally wrong.<br>
<br>
I do not know how to make this any more clear to you. You are<br>
attempting to apply your knowledge of other things to a subject upon<br>
which you clearly do not understand in the least respect<br>
<br>
You are just wrong. Period. That is the end of the debate as far as I<br>
am concerned. They do not violate the GPL in any way whatsoever. This<br>
is not up for debate any further. If my actual logical arguments on<br>
this matter do not convince you, then you are beyond my ability to<br>
assist you any further.<br>
<br>
This is NOT a matter of GPL. I will not have any further discussions<br>
on the topic of the GPL in this particular instance, nor will I read<br>
any further debate in this thread mentioning the GPL on this matter.<br>
<br>
TL;DR: We're done as far as "GPL" goes here.<br>
