According to the GPL v1, v2 and v3, even if one single line in an application is licensed under the GPL, the whole application has to be GPL-licensed. Any other use is illegal.

And it's not being released anymore... so why the continued harping on that? He didn't make any money off of it- what happened was a few people got binaries that they otherwise wouldn't have... why can't it be simply left at that? Why all of the finger pointing and calling people bad guys? The way forward from here is not to release CD anymore without source... that's been done. And if he releases again to remove GPL code. Check on that also. So why the continued antagonism? I'm sure if he could go back and just not release the binaries, that he would rather than deal with this. But that's not a possibility. So why the name calling to get someone to do something that he doesn't want to do, and release work that he has done at no cost? Just so you can feel better about some useless point?

Team Circle Dock will take the program forward, as a fully non-GPL semi-commercial product, and likely to be under Microsoft's BizNet umbrella. -Markham (August 12, 2010, 06:16 AM)

That's right. More than often you'll find OSS is just a zero-sum game. The only way we can move forward, in this case, is to dismiss the pettiness and political dramas, remove GPL code from the product, and release it under commercial license.
A dedicated team committed to supporting its users and coding successful software is obviously above and beyond what some have been advocating here in this thread. Let's call an end to this drama, cease the antagonism, leave these folks alone and you might be surprised what they'll come up with.

i think all sides have made their cases, and agree it's time to move on.

I already did. They will take the GPL code out of it, and release their version of the product. It's already been stated there's not a problem with that. The one with the GPL code has been taken down. As you said, follow the thread first.
