Hi Chris
I would let it go mate.While I feel no better about people making money off my
work I also feel that it is pretty much or own fault.
The only way you are going to stop this guy is to make it a pain in the arse
for him.
Until we are prepared to fight fire with fire by releasing our own commercial
copy then he has an open field.
With the depth of talent we have here surely we could come up with a water
making system that causes him some headaches.Even
if it only causes him to spend an hour extra each time.
While we sit and belly ache about it he will just continue so the ball is in
our court.

Another avenue I have considered is a New Zealand consumer affairs program
named "Fair Go". This TV show has an excellent track record of exposing
scammers, and sticking up for those who are being shafted by scammers. The
format is a group of presenters who research claims of unfair treatment, then
in many cases try to confront the scammers - thats the part where the scammers
usually turn tail and run or get aggro towards the camera. Quite often however
the scammers cave in to the unwanted media pressure and relent, paying back
money they've misappropriated, or as the name of the program suggests,
delivering a "Fair Go". Those extra prickly scammers who outright refuse often
find themselves in court, as the Fair Go team have a number of
legal guys at their disposal, to advise on cases considered worthy of
elevating to the law courts.
Fair Go have taken on anyone from dodgy car dealers, to Microsoft. If the team
at Fair Go think it is a case worthy of pursuing, they'll do it with gusto,
harassing scammers, and making a laughing stock of them on TV. Not good PR for
the scammers.
Check out youtube clips with a search "fair go nz" to see how the show operates.

For the love of...
Whatever your opinion on the legality of what they are doing, this is indeed a
problem and reflects negatively on the community.
Ignoring it will not make it go away. We need to know what we can do.
Please, please, someone with a copyright interest in the software please
contact the lawyers at http://www.softwarefreedom.org/
I am not saying this for fun.
Cheers
