IOS is *seperate* modules, the GPL'd code was in modules, hence those modules were released. Look at a WAD for IOS or cIOS, there are multiple files. Waninkoko followed the GPL and released all modules that are based on GPL code, don't try and pretend you can't understand that simple distinction.
This is a black and white issue, you *are* in the wrong, no one else. Everyone else involved with cIOS is following the the GPL, except you.
Please read the GPL, and people interpretations, before pretending you know. Were the modules released under a BSD license, you could do what you are doing and it's fine.
Dude, this is a dead issue, go bark up another tree, he said he's not gonna release it and that's that. I happen to like the loader, if you don't like the non-release of his code GO WRITE YOUR OWN. Who cares if he releases the code in his loader, if he wrote it based on sources freely available, you are free to do the same.
Stop with the GPL crap, it has been asked and answered for pages and pages now.
Incidentally, the idea of the mouse was stolen from Xerox, I don't see you harping on Microsoft or Apple. Many great programs are based on others work, Oggzee will release it when he is ready and not before. As far as the GPL is concerned, it sounds to me like you are using this to hide behind because you want the sources so you don't have to actually do any work on a project, just change a few things and call it your own. Hmmm, wonder if he releases the code if you will comply fully with the GPL yourself?
