Based on disassembly of the PC DOS version, this port runs on PC, Mac and Linux and features many enhancements such as quick saving and the ability to mod the game including level design.

I'm not wrong. You cannot just slap the GPL on disassembled proprietary software. That's a fact. Ask your lawyer.

This is not a separately distributed patch set as LAME was in the beginning. That's GPL slapped on the combined work. Not really that hard to understand.
