Any news on a Doom 3 DK2?
Was looking forward to checking it out but not much works with DK2 yet.
That interpretation of GPL licence shenanigans is simply wrong. You aren't creating derivative work as long as you don't release parts of the GPL'ed software under a different licence.
You can use GPLed code as long as you keep it under GPL. That's it. That is essentially what Android does, mid you just because RMS says something doesn't necessarily mean the Law agrees with him...
Again in practice this works like this: Fork Doom 3, modify it so that it compiles into doom3.dll or doom3.so release that under GPL. Then do whatever you want, in any licence you want.
The LGPL/GPL shenanigans are essentially bogus because what RMS wants and the reality are two different things. Proof: almost a billion android phones. If you are now posting "Well Android is essentially illegal." - get out.
