Eduke32 devs getting sued by Gearbox

[enderkevin13]

Long story short, Eduke32 developers got a license to release an Android version. The ownership of Duke Nukem 3D went go Gearbox. Of course that doesn't affect the license for the Android version. But Gearbox was not aware of their license, and did not like it. So they decided it's not valid, under the terms that they don't like it.

Well. Fuck Gearbox, then...but just in case, got a link to a source on this?

News source please?

Will this work for you?
Nevermind, wrong link. Realized that after I read into it a bit more.

That's a different story my friend.

I mean, Gearbox have done some shitty things in the past (the alleged mismanagement of funds from Aliens: Colonial Marines) and I'd be more than willing to maintain my "Fuck Gearbox" attitude, but yeah, let's see if we can't find a source...because I can't track any down from cursory searching.

I had to put the image in a spoiler because I couldn't resize it sadly, but it's there.

I added a source now, and a image before you go to the source.

You can't let the Duke Nukem saga continue without legal shenanegans.

The FSF should get onboard for the defense since they're treating their unretractable Duke3D GPL source as litigation bait.

Reading the screenshotted post, I don't see any legal action as actually having started.

I must be out of the know so what is HTTKC? If it's anything to do with EDuke32 itself, then I fail to see how Gearbox has a case. They aren't distributing the game or anything like that, if it's just another way to play Duke 3D but you yourself still have to get the game, I'm not seeing much water-holding going on for Gearbox in this matter.

I don't understand either.

It apparently has to do with this: http://www.droidgamers.com/index.php/ga ... his-spring

Gearbox isn't trying to have any sort of fan, are they?
