Argh. I am extremely pissed. You'd think my license is clear enough:

Copyright (c) 1998-2000 Decklin Foster. All rights reserved.

THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE AUTHOR "AS IS", WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF THIS PROGRAM.

This program is free software. You are granted permission, free of charge, to copy this program, modify it, and distribute/publish/sell copies of it, as long as this license is not modified or removed from the copyright notice. You may also use parts of this program's code in your own software, if you agree to distribute it under this license.

Nowhere in there does it say, ``You can take this code, modify part of it, strip out the license, replace it with the GPL, and credit yourself.'' Please understand that I'm not biased against the GPL -- it could have been any other license.

And this person is distributing a binary and a Star Wars .jpg in the tarball. And the modified portion of the source has been clumped together into one horribly formatted file.

And I was not even contacted once.

Furrfu.
