Then you have violated the GPL License. When you release something GPL, you have to include the source code and all resources used. I would recommend you remove the download before someone writes to the Free Software Foundation.

Sorry for the double post, but I forgot to mention that your icons are now licensed under the GNU General Public License. I don't know which version drizzle uses, but they're both viral, meaning, anything you add to drizzle is licensed under the GPL.

In other words, your icons are now free icons. (Free as in freedom, not free as in beer). Thanks for your generous contributions


---EDIT---
I found the relevant secions in the GPL v3

5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

* a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
* b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
* c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
* d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

Yes. Thank you for those lovely words, accusations, and bannings. I didn't know it was possible to spy on a public shard.

You're not the only one Adam.

I ran a diff comparing the original source against the pelishard source.

Thanks Paradox! Assuming that Dhel sent the complete actual source, then I see the following changes:

*A Change of character encoding (which is why so must help text shows up in the diff, and why the accented letters are broken.)
*Change of hard-coded server addresses (Which are not used for the main things anyway: you can set the UAM server to a custom one if you want, but even that is not needed for Pelishard.)
*The addition of the line "De Nederlandse BUUUUURT" to the Dutch help info.
*Removal of credits from the help info (a serious GPL violation).
*Dhel's name was put in the credits.
*Build info changes (probably due to his unintentional problems with Netbeans.)
*Change of some image assets (he said they are his, but they pretty obviously look like they were copyswiped from somewhere, which he cannot then merge with GPL in general, which would be another GPL violation. )

If this is indeed the full modified source (one could check by compiling and comparing binaries perhaps), then there isn't any malware hopefully. So, it appears that option 1 is the motivation, which seems all the more likely now that we know he removed names from the credits.

Ethics? Who needs them?

I can add one more item to your "minus" list - on his UAM server (http://www.pelishard.net/uam/uam.status.xml) he removed my name from the description of the Offline KI, which he renamed to Online KI (I didn't yet make a diff to see what he changed there).

Oh, and I don't think you should close SVN or update it only on releases, Dustin - besides the reason that I use it, that would mean we were actually willing to restrict our behaviour based in his actions. As long as he clearly labels that version as Peli-version and adds his name (which seems to be one of the changes he has little problems with ), the result will mainly be a lot of work for him to keep it up-to-date and people complaining at him because he released development versions which break their games.
