All that would have to be done is GPL copyright headers added into every .sp file and the files could again be distributed freely. "infringing code" doesn't even really exist anymore, but since SMAC is originally based on KAC unless everything gets completely rewritten it still has to abide to the original license under which KAC was released meaning every single file has to have a GPL copyright header. SMAC did incude the GPL license the only thing missing was a copyright header/comment in every single scripts source. This whole copyright issue is just stupid and it all started from Kigen (original KAC developer) being an ass who tried to get the whole alliedmodders website shutdown because he couldn't wait for those headers to be added into SMAC which would have happened but instead of waiting for that he started sending DMCA notices to everybody linking to/hosting SMAC.
