nope. In these matters, the copyright holder basically owns your ass. We
can revoke all rights to anyone we please. Copyleft is just good
manners, copyright is the law. Remember this already happened: a fork of
OpenBSD was killed by license termination in response to copyright
misrepresentation - and, boy, does it take a special brand of stupidity
to manage to violate a BSD license
That said, the Hostilix people have no shame and no fear; they are
well-known copyright violators (their WinuxOS was a repackaged Windows
2000, wasting SourceForge's bandwidth too) and are doing their best to
alienate us; they are a bunch of loser punk posers who embarass the
whole OS-development scene. Let them get away with it, they are
do-no-good hacks and nothing can punish them worse than simply existing.
Hostilix will die naturally from the complete lack of any form of skill
on the part of the pathetic clowns who conceived it
