Carmack on GPL, 2

1
John Carmack has another .plan update to follow-up on the story yesterday about a particular Quake source project that is breaking the GPL agreement. In addition, he made a post to the /. forums. (Thanks torben)

Some people took it upon themselves to remotely wreck Slade's development system. That is no more defensible than breaking into Id and smashing something.The idea isn't to punish anyone, it is to have them comply with the license and continue to contribute. QuakeLives has quite a few happy users, and it is in everyone's best interest to have development continue. It just has to be by the rules.

While you're looking at .plan files check out the updates from GreenMarine and George Broussard about office antics.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
