Too many excellent 3D designers are not interested in developing quality projects for FGFS precisely because they believe that the GPL is used fraudulently by commercial companies in the field of flight simulators.
Where's the concern for these people's rights ?
Nothing immoral and most definitely something desirable has been done by distributing on Fgmembers....

You might be right, and I've strayed far from my original point, which was that FGMEMBERS is no savior because it disregards copyright law (and justifies doing so with appalling pseudo-legal gymnastics). I'll bow out of this.

You changed a licence.... you don't have that right.... Well you claim others dont have that right but think you do..you seem to want your cake and eat it.
The licence very much does state intent.... that's it's very purpose.

That said a plane that's not been touched for 6 years, has no licence, is found on the Web and distributed via Fgmembers for the benefit of the community on the understanding that attempting to get in touch with the author can be considered to be done with good intentions.

You're still not making any sense, sorry. You don't even seem to know what the license headers of the Shuttle on FGAddon say, so I repeat - maybe you just read something wrong.

- Our FlightGear community is diverse, and we must all respect each each and be tolerant of other opinions, particularly if they differ from or own. While politely disagreement is expected, to avoid flame-wars if it is clear that you are not going to changes someone's opinion, agree to disagree and stop. Moderators may lock topics that are considered to go around in circles.
- While differing opinions are fine, facts are facts. Continual disagreement with facts is considered trolling.
- Don't feed the trolls. If you consider someone is making a contentious post just to get a reaction, report it to a moderator rather than responding.
