stuff like that. Such a thing CANNOT just be re-programmed and then it works
exactly the same way UPX does. Its not that they are using the same
"algorithm/format" - the algorithm or format is what UPX is, so they stole
the technology, using the same code or not. Hope you understand my point of
view, but in my opinion there is no need for a proof that they really use
the UPX source code for doing this. They use the software technology which
is copyrighted by the GPL.
No, methods and techniques aren't copyrightable. Only expression is
copyrightable.
And in any case, only the copyright holder can take action.
