... sold? Please don't say that you've only basing these arguments against the GPL on the almost decade old Flight Pro Sim / Pro Flight Simulator / FlightProSim / ProFlightSimulator / FlightSimPro / Earth Flight Sim / FlightProSim / Real Flight Simulator saga. Regards, Edward

... of us never needs to know who you are. It's not so much that we suspect there's a problem with the copyright of your material - but what if e.g. FlightProSim claims that they have copyright of the SR-71 and threatens to sue FG - and all we can say is 'we don't know the name of the author'?

... it is that it will be re-used somewhere else.... that's reality, human nature to use something if it's free. I'm quite certain that at least FlightProSim will do it - and then have to support a product he doesn't remotely understand. That'll be interesting. As for taking the model and shipping ...

... for the Flight Pro Sim scam (Oct 2015) (tl;dr: do not post links to the vendors; it would help them, not us) ⋅  Go and buy your very own FlightProSim scam [...] (Dec 2011-May 2015) * ⋅  etc, etc, ad naseum There are also some third party sites mentioning the various vendors ...

... Durk also discussed this in various threads on the forum, which I cannot find atm. Subject: FlightProSIm Surely the simplest solution to all of this is to add into the next update of Flightgear a big splash screen the first time it is run with ...

... utilize mine. GPL makes the specific bet that allowing commercial use is, on average, a good thing. There are both cases - cheap freeloaders like FlightProSim and genuine developments like Creare which gave us a very high quality skydiver FDM in return. So whatever CC license you pick, I suppose ...

... to do things. GPL permits you to decorate the Shuttle with Nazi emblems - it'd be silly to claim that this would be my intention. GPL allows FlightProSim to sell your ASK-13 - which clearly is not your intention. Licensing GPL is making a bet - that bet being that there'll be more honest ...

... illustrates precisely the situation I described. Potential contributors are suppressed because commericalized ripoffs of FG, such as the likes of FlightProSim, are legally allowed under the GPL but are neither morally desirable nor in agreement with the wishes/intent of FG's authors. Which is ...

... working. I however don't want my work misused by commercial operations and as such will continue to use FGmembers and suggest anyone who's against FlightProSim do the same. *ROFL* Sorry. So Israel founds a repository to realize his most anarchic GPL vision that everyone can edit anything at any ...

... GPL allows for people to download and redistribute even commercially if they so wish, so where's the protection ? The use of GPL has aided FlightProSim, so I'm left wondering why having seen what damage others have missused the licence for, do you still uphold the use of it ? The licence ...

... At the same time, we hope that we don't run into people who just take and re-distribute for their own benefit. Every time we run into the likes of FlightProSim or FGMembers who do that without a shred of respect for what the original authors intended, I guess most of us doubt the decision to publish ...

... places that will distribute your plane no matter what you think about it. All quite legally and for no cost to the community of flightgear.... As FlightProSim etc. has amply demonstrated, legal is not the same as moral or desirable. And as more than a few copyright violations have demonstrated ...

... what affects what is based largely on what happens to FG itself. If you show up on the mailing list and state 'If you'd code XY, I could market FlightProSim much better' it's not going to impress too many people. If you represent a company and we can expect content to flow back (e.g. the Creare ...

... we -as a community- are doing this sort of thing, we are empowering the very people we are disagreeing with, no matter of that means "FlightProSim", "fgmembers" or individuals like Hooray, vitos, Bomber etc That said, I merely suggested to make sure that you are being ...
