As of January 1, 1978, under U.S. copyright law, a work is automatically protected by copyright when it is created.

What makes you think that VC:MP is not copyright protected? Even the open-sourced 0.1c is copyrighted by GPL (General Public License).

i'll do some research into the General Public License soon, but from some brief reading about it, its not covered by the same laws as copyright, it holds copyleft rights.

i had a moment to glance at this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License

"The text of the GPL is itself copyrighted, and the copyright is held by the Free Software Foundation. However, the FSF does not hold the copyright for a work released under the GPL"

"Only the individual copyright holders have the authority to sue when a license violation takes place."

to put it simply, VC:MP is not protected by any copyright laws and no action can be taken.

We don't know that, we only know the license used for the open-sourced 0.1c, but not about any newer versions.

we do indeed know that it is not protected by copyright laws.


like i have already mentioned, for legal purposes it must be avilable to the public.
