Ah, but the significant difference with Wolf3D is that id owns the original IP so there’s no question by anyone that they have the complete right to distribute the product through any channel they choose GPL-compliant or not. This fellow is trying to make a buck off *other* people’s source, which whilst in theory the GPL does not discourage, in practice brings out all the Apple-hating asshats who spew vitriol about Apple “stealing code” that’s BSD-licensed. No matter how you point out that stealing BSD-licensed code is actually impossible. That’s the sort I can see getting worked up about this fellow and not about Wolf.
