Re: Armagetron game for sale on eBay
Considering you can sell Original Packaging and WLAN cables on eBay with the only thing standing between you and profit being the stupidity of your buyers, I don't think complaining with them could stop this. And depending on what's on the CD, it's not fully a derivative product and thus can have stricter copy restrictions. They're not even trying to hide the fact they are selling freeware; they would not have to mention the GPL at all. So let them be, they are offering the extremely valuable service of sending out CDs to people who don't have enough internets to download it. Just tell those people you encounter (on the grid and here) that bought it to consider taking the 14 day unconditional refund offering. How many people buy games they never heard of from people they never met?

Except that the only ones you're screwing with this are the delivery services. You don't have to accept and pay goods you didn't order. So please, don't do anything silly.

Re: Armagetron game for sale on eBay
It would be killer if there was actually the box... Except I don't think that's even Armagetron artwork... or my memory's gone. (To be honest, that looks GLTron to me... AKA much too nice.

Interesting that they're showing the old "borg cube" default textures.

Free as in freedom! So long as they include the source (or an offer to get it from them), it's legit to sell it.
