-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Alleged Israeli GPL violation settled out of court

,----[ Quote ]
| Klinger was only slightly more forthcoming. "The settlement was out of court 
| and therefore does not affect the enforceability of other GPL claims," he 
| told Linux.com. "The only effect it has is on the parties. How other parties 
| may see this settlement is another issue. It might have done some effect on 
| other parties acquaintance with GPL and open source and might cause more 
| interest in open source projects."

And now it's official that there's more GPL code...

Heretic and Hexen goes GNU GPLv2

,----[ Quote ]
| The source code for Heretic and Hexen has been re-released under the GNU 
| General Public License, and is now available from Sourceforge. This release 
| will allow GPL Doom source ports to freely integrate support for Heretic and 
| Hexen without requiring the code to be rewritten from scratch or to be 
| emulated through empirical testing. The door is also now open for new ports 
| such as "Chocolate" Heretic and Hexen, and for such ports to be distributed 
| in free software packages.
