Ok, now THAT I understand.  I don't believe "aggregation" is the proper
term for what y'all believe to be in violation.  You are contending that
the UrT mod is a (heh) module combined with ioUrT into one program.

So even if someone gets the current version of ioq3 and their mod and puts
them in one ZIP, without customizing ioq3, you're going to feel that it's
in violation of the Q3 mod sdk license due to "intent".  But not
necessarily in violation of the GPL.  Is that correct?

I still think of Oswald as the one-time head of the "Action Quake Map
Depot" for the Action Quake 2 mod.  I think he might live in Texas which
might explain his views on Mexicans.
