That canadacow is putting this in the public domain, which is no license at all, it's inconsequential. Public domain means anyone can do anything with the code. Someone can take a copy and go closed source for profit, license it as GPL, whatever.
As for the GPL, the mixing of different licensed code isn't some obscure miniscule point of contention Nicht Sehr Gut. It's a prominately declared boundary of the license. And the license essentially says if you use our code/project, we get to use yours in kind. And the guys who wrote dosbox, vdmsound and bochs all chose this license. So unless you are up to writing your own pc emulator; if you use theirs, they want you to follow the guidelines for using their project.
You know canadacow, it's your baby, and I only contributed small snippits, but when someone contributes to your project, and then you repeatedly say your solo, well, let's just say it makes me question the time I spent scowering over your code.
