id and Valve May Be Violating GPL

frooge writes "With the recent release of iD's catalog on Steam, it appears DOSBox is being used to run the old DOS games for greater compatibility. According to a post on the Halflife2.net forums, however, this distribution does not contain a copy of the GPL license that DOSBox is distributed under, which violates the license. According to the DOSBox developers, they were not notified that it was being used for this release."

Does this mean

I can get a copy of the source for Half-Life 2?

Global Partners LP?

OpenGL to PostScript?

Global Land Project?

I'm confused about what GLP has to do with this.

The only thing people here are 'experts' on is flaming each other.

To be fair, you can post any question just about anywhere and it will devolve into a 20 post long thread with people going back and forth about who's right and who's wrong. Humans are a highly fucking disagreeable lot.

No we're not, and furthermore I strongly resent that accusation.

Besides, I'm right and you're wrong. So there.

I have a GNU gpl license

That wasn't a very expert flame. You should have called him a dog bothering bucket of lard with a face like a crash-test chimpanzee, less brains than a road killed possum and smelling about as bad as one too. Also he loves Hitler.

That's a proper flame.
