Potential infringement of copyright

[Gene]

For those that are objecting thinking copyright infringement, I would like to understand the response given what Gunter correctly points out:

The original work was published under GNU General Public License version 3.0 (GPLv3).



If that GNU means anything at all, it MUST mean that the terms apply. Claiming something otherwise does not address the points Gunter brings out.

No one wants to have someone's work improperly used and no one wants to violate anything. However, once GNU was adopted, the choices are made. If not, why not and how not? I'm curious. I have no dog in this fight and have nothing to do with the derived work or the original. :-) And, I love all you guys!
