Whatever the intention of the original author may have been, it's not up to you to guess. If you have no permission by the copyright holder, you can't license it yourself.

I don't doubt the intentions were good. But the fact that these copyright violations happened is indicative of larger issues with FGMEMBERS. Yes, we've had some GPL violation incidents in fgdata/FGAddon too, but none involved something as blatant as making up licenses - that would simply never fly. Israel, with all due respect, seems to have a gross misunderstanding of copyright law and licensing. These legal problems, in addition to the author respect problems I also outlined, will always make FGMEMBERS controversial.

Let us then move to the 2nd illegal activity - the FGMEMBERS organization's illegal distribution of unlicensed content on GitHub.

Calling someone a parasite is though.
And that's exactly the crime Thorsten commited when he deleted the GPL2+ copying file from the SpaceShutle repositories, and from FGADDon.
