Granted, that's not the aspect of the GPL I was looking at. But... you have not established that there has been a violation of the GPL, let alone a 'clear' violation: from what you said, you looked at the website and saw no source download available - that's only one of 4 options for the distribution of source provided by section 3 of the GPL. For the record, WinXLator does not comply with any of those 4 options: the installer does not contain the source code (which would satisfy 3a), nor does it provide an offer to provide the source code (3b), nor does it provide information about how to acquire the original source code (section 3c - but this only holds if (as is very likely the case) that the source code has not been modified). WinXLator also does not comply with section 1 of the GPL. It also does not comply with the fundamentals of copyright - all copyright notices (for the various components of Apertium, for CG, and for Cygwin) have been omitted. -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Apertium-stuff mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/apertium-stuff
