I don't think so. download.com is a huge and very popular site. Enigma was downloaded more than 10.000 times after it was reviewed by c't (one of the largest computer magazines in Germany), so I think the number is not that unreasonable. It's still remarkable, though :-) You can also compare those numbers with the regular Enigma downloads (only available as of July 6th): https://developer.berlios.de/project/stats/?group_id=3972 > On 7/14/05, Drake Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This suggests that someone may have registered an account with the > > enigma-devel list as its email address, as I understand it.

Distribution in binary form is allowed if you don't modify the executable. Even if it was a violation of the GPL, I wouldn't really mind -- it's not every day you get free publicity on this scale :) Daniel _______________________________________________ Enigma-devel mailing list Enigma-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/enigma-devel
