Attribution

Dear Mr. Israel A Hernandez (@IAHM-COL) and Mr. Peter Brendt(@JWocky)

While I am looking forward to hearing from the FSF on the other issues I have
raised with you, I want to point you to some
issues with your current attribution in the file present here:
https://github.com/JWocky/Lockheed-Model10/blob/master/AUTHORS
and here:
https://github.com/IAHM-COL/Lockheed-Model10/commits/master/AUTHORS

1. Please clarify which content is:

   (c) 2004, Curtis L. Olson  http://www.flightgear.org/~curt
   

As I have never knowingly transfered COPYRIGHT of my Work to Mr. Curtis L. Olson, nor to any other third-party, and if you have such an agreement to transfer copyright to the above mentioned person, or any third party, I am not a party to such an agreement, so COPYRIGHT over the parts of my Work that you are still using remains solely under my ownership.

1. Also please clarify for each of the other persons listed there to which parts of your work they hold COPYRIGHT over, as I never knowingly entered any agreement to hold Joined COPYRIGHT over my work or parts thereof.
2. Please be aware that the released version of my original Work, thus the parts of it that you are still using (already raised issues about your usage of said work notwithstanding) was/is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2.0, and strictly under that version (not later), and I have not knowingly entered any agreement to have a change of licensing status over the whole or
   the parts of my Work you are still using. Thus if you want to relicense to GPL v2.0+ you will have to dual license the work, also clarifying which content is under which of the respective licensing terms

TIA

I wrote the new FDM using JSBSIM, defined the tanks more to reality (in your work two tanks in the wings not only with wrong size but also different sizes were used, which cause serious balance problems), commented out your shader definitions because under FG.3.4 they cause a ghost plane effect ... the whole plane was transparent), derived the variants 10a, 10b, 10c, 10e and the special version with the changed tank configuration Amerlia Earhart flew in 1937, corrected MTOWs for all variants (your work was in that not even near tot he historical data, to any of them actually). So what was usable of your work was actually the 3D model and the animation file. Take that with the animation file with some caution because it has still some glitches and need work at this point.

So, just to clear that up: You want me to write in the AUTHORS file detailed for everybody to see what I had to do because you messed up so royally?
And the other thing about copyright, as you stated yourself, you published under GPL 2.0. You don't need to transfer anything, That's GPL, everybody can take it improve it, which, after seeing your work, was in this case bitter needed to bring her to fly again in FG. So, if you insist, I can document all your failures and shortcomings in the plane in comments and the AUTHORS file for all eternity. Tell me if that is what you want?

Hi Mr. Huminiuc

1. I added copyright notices in several source and configuration files in the directory tree of the aircraft Lockheed-Model10. I hope this clarifies the participation of the several mentioned and even unmentioned authors.
2. Per your petition I had changed GPL2+ to GPL2. But keep in mind that the notice quoted must remain unaltered to be correct and valid, as it reads here:
   https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.en.html

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or

Funny, no response yet about his ridiculous tank configuration, the outdated shader configuration, the wrong weights and the fact, that his work missed every historical specifications for any of the Electra variants. No word also about how much source he took from the Zero (under GPL), I guess, nobody remembers to have transferred "copyrights" to him, he just preferred not to mention that his work is already based on other people's work.
