There are these two products, "ASSP Deluxe for cPanel" and "ASSP X". They both offer integration between cPanel/WHM and ASSP. The last time we had this debate, Fritz claimed the Deluze was violating ASSP's license by not paying him any license fees. The maker of Deluxe, Graziano, caved and agreed to give a portion of his proceeds to Fritz. (Note: only to Fritz, none of the other contributors past or present)
The point is, they both use ASSP betas in their products. Neither of them disclose the source of their betas. Deluxe pays Fritz, while X does not. Can you see what I'm getting at?
