The ScummVM developers contacted gpl-violations.org and sent a letter to Atari. The Atari lawyers responded, first denying the problem, then, after discovering that the Nintendo Wii SDK explicitly prohibits the use of open source software, threatening to take action against the ScummVM developers for the reverse engineered Humongous Games code they said appeared in one of ScummVM's game engines. This says Sev "turned into a completely different, much more complicated case" with the options being go to
 court or arrange a settlement.

It is amazing how warped Freetards minds are when it comes to
imagining GPL "legal" victories.

Anyone who is neither blind nor an idiot understands that "... the
Nintendo Wii SDK explicitly prohibits the use of open source software
..." means exactly what it says. GPL, BSD, Apache, Artistic license or
any other open source code is explicitly prohibited. The only power
of the GPL is its ever present stench of bullshit.
