Soudns quite interesting... but I don't see why there would be any problem, for you or Rob. You have both abided by the rules since day one as far as I know.

Yes, for some reason we can all understand these guidelines that id Software set. I fail to see how Machineworks (or anyone else) can claim otherwise.

Wow Dan what kind of legal issue are you dealing with? See i thought this was all leagl under the gpl so i dont understand where machineworks is coming from they really have no legal rights to do anything about robs port do they?

I never knew there was an issue with menus.. Just about every Doom port changes the menus, adding and removing stuff. May just be me but I don't see anything new in here, that was already known?

Yep - as people have already said.. under the GPL you can do whatever the heck you want to the source!

People have been removing registered version detection since xmas '99 when the Quake source first came out. Dans got nothing to worry about.

Oh, that and always take JohnCs word as law... I've never heard of anyone at id contradicting him over matters like this :)
