Hi there..

A post by Henrick he said:

"Is the code in game_em/ your code or are you otherwise authorized to
represent the author of that code?"

A question is who has the rights to claim copyright infrigement of
someone using a device which uses a bit of hardware which runs the linux
kernel which doesn't follow the GPL rules?

As the linux kernel includes input/code from 10000's of people can
anyone one of them take someone else to court for copyright infrigement
(as the hardware manufactuer using the linux kernel didn't follow the
GPL Copyright Licence?)

Thanks
