>you CnD/sue you for an IP they don't even own in the first place
What's funny is that they literally violate the rules.
There's a thing in their website, in the addon section, called the "re-usability" system, which forces you to ask permissions for 2 pixels made by someone, which most of the time they won't ask or say no. To make it worse, they will lock codes and other things that were reusable.
Look at Kart, a open-source project used as base in Ring Racers, a closed-source project. All for the sake of "respect for the artists.".

Back on track, SRB2 had LUA implemented that it links to its own GPL license code. Therefore, mods who use LUA must be compliant with the GPL; doing otherwise is a legal violation, and it's even worse considering their using another's IP unlicensed.

Reusability is not GPL compliant because it distributing derivative works of gpl licensed code under different terms. Now it could be if you're making a basic mod, but 90% of it nowadays are using LUA. Even the base SRB2 uses LUA, you see where this is going.
>I don't think it matters because Sega is ok with-
Sega can fucking sue you hard if you don't comply. They did it to SORR and Sonic Omens for breaking it, and they will absolutely kill SRB2 if they treat it as an "art community.".

Except other people can have the same vision as the one who made this project you fucking idiot. Stop making the argument that it's dead because the old guards had left the project. Besides the said old guard had changed the idea of what things should be anyway, and to add salt to your dogshit argument, some of the shit from the game was made by the community, a random noise that has nothing to do with "their vision".
