The author of micropolisJS is not the author of 3D City. In this case, 3D City needs to be licensed under the GPL, and I believe 3D City needs to include the copyright details for the original port. In addition, micropolisJS has additional terms added to the GPL [0], which are clearly linked to from the top of every source file in micropolisJS [1], which need to be distributed with 3D City.

> The simulation work is also really impressive -- and a lot of work. The simulation is from my own micropolisJS (http://micropolisjs.graememcc.co.uk and https://github.com/graememcc/micropolisJS) just stripped of the GPL License headers and attribution. micropolisJS in turn is a port of Micropolis, the open-source release of Sim City 1989 for One Laptop Per Child. Edit: edited the link. You'd think I should get links to my own site correct!
