Carl Eugen Hoyos <[email protected]> added the comment:
I just installed Mezzmo: After choosing Japanese as installation language, the
attached - incompatible - EULA was shown (I did not attach a translation, but
the version actually shown).
Apart from this (imo undeniable) issue: Ronald, are you sure that Mezzmo (the
English version) is fulfilling section 3.a (I assume b and c are not relevant)
of the GPL? In what way does Conceiva "accompany [the program] with the complete
corresponding machine-readable source code"? Note that the source code is not
mentioned in the About box or the EULA, so how does the average user know about
it?
Will re-add to Shame.
