So, from reading the notice and looking at commits:<p>This guy, whoever he is, has been making fixes/adding features to his fork of Bukkit, and some (most?) of them have been getting merged to trunk. Bukkit's repo is apparently GPL.<p>Now he's pissed off for some reason so he issues a DMCA to take down software <i>he participated in the development of</i> because it violates the GPL by depending on the closed-source Minecraft server software? Super confusing. I don't understand how you would be a developer on this project without <i>knowing</i> that it depends on closed-source software to function (and yes, is basically incompatible with the GPL as a result).<p>The end result of this appears to be that nobody can use the software he works on other than developers able to do the build locally and violate the GPL by hand themselves. Bizarre.
Fun fact: Mojang bought Bukkit. (@jeb_ tweeted the other day. This notice states that bukkit uses Minecraft's code without permission, and it did at one point. Now, though, as Mojang owns both, I think it should be allowed. Oh, and a Mojang employee (Dinnerbone) has stated he will be updating it to support 1.8.
This has wide ramifications for quite a lot of projects that have implemented parts of the Bukkit API that this guy has contributed code towards. CraftBukkit and Spigot are used on most servers but it also affects a lot of mods like Tekkit, MCP etc<p>I hope they sort it out.
