[XviD-devel] GPL Violation -- GameCam

[Mike Bassett]

This commercial software contains your code.
 
To confirm this, head to www.planetgamecam.com and download the trial.  Then open any DirectX or OpenGL game, you should see a GameCam 'window' appear.  Now attach a debugger to the game process, and view the loaded module list.  You'll see two *.tmp files loaded in the game's address space...
 
ModLoad: 52000000 5226e000   c:\users\mike\appdata\local\gctmp\~e9a4.tmp
ModLoad: 1c200000 1c2b3000   c:\users\mike\appdata\local\gctmp\~fbfc.tmp
 
Now, point your disassembler at the larger of these two files (it's around 2MB), and search for the XviD string...

Hope this helps,
