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.

I believe Kigen waited 6 months for them to re-add the headers from what I read somewhere? If that's the case then he gave them plenty of time and that statement is false.
