Let me get things straight here:
First of all, I'm not really going to kick into the GPL discussion above, it's just a simple question wether or not he uses parts of GPL-Software and relies on them as integral parts of his project - I haven't looked at the script, so I'm not able to tell, but if he does, GPL is necessary and redistribution (with intact copyright) is possible without explicit written consent from him - but that's not a basis for negotiations, that's just stupid swashbuckling.
Secondly, I'd like to say something regarding vBhacks-germany.com.
I personally would support the idea as a lot of native german speakers do not speak English very well and a concept like the one which is intended here, could well work out.
I don't really see why people are so fussy about it, I mean, I'm a programmer myself, I've been victimized by pirates who stole my software and I've been victimized by people who translated my software without my knowledge (non-gpl software), yet, I can't see why you're fussy about hacks which are meant to just help the community (especially since all copyrights will be kept intact).
What good is it if a well worthy market (Germany) is unable to use your scripts because they are unable to understand your scripts?
Think about it.
