How you can *possibly* expect cooperation from a group of people who * just discovered that somebody has taken large parts of their code * removed their attribution * relicensed them under a much more permissive license * /then/ claims that it was "an honest mistake" * also claims that the license (GPL in this case) isn't relevant because the code doesn't "run" (hint: GPL covers redistribution too, no matter if the code runs or not) is totally beyond me.
