[»] This looks cool, but aren't they violating some licensing??
by GroundWire - Sep 21st 2000 13:28:19

How is the license allowed to be "propriatary". I've looked all over their web page, and can find no mention of a "downloadable version".

It is my understanding that if your software was based on Linux (and this clearly is), that you had to release the code for your modifications.

How far off am I? What's the difference that allows them to withhold even the freely downloadable binaries?
