Well, my license is simple: 1) Don't use my code for commercial (i.e., for profit) purposes. 2) Don't post it elsewhere on the net.

I sent this private message to "nukem" several days ago, which has been ignored:

I know this makes me sound like a jerk, but I put a considerable amount of time into my code and I really don't want it used in commercial, for profit, software, which is allowed under the GPL. If I allow one person to post the code with my knowledge, It weakens the copyright attached to my code. You are, of course, free to distribute your code with a pointer to my website where they can retrieve the remainder of the build.

Before I do something more heavy-handed, I should ask the team managment to do something about this. Is there anyone else from team 1676 here?
