Mojang's making money by linking GPL code with proprietary code.
That is illegal. Period.
The authors of the code have every right to revoke Mojang's (or anyone else's) right to distribute it. (And I'll make clear - it was the bukkit authors that DMCA'd it - there is no "guy" to be sorry for)

Oh , and the 30 or so bukkit admins/devs leaving bukkit over this http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/an-inde...ye.310086/
Not like I was gonna buy any anymore of their shit anyway, now I have a reason
Mojang is not to blame as bukkit still had its linsece. The admin who made the request made a bad choose and staging the whole community of Minecraft down with it.
