Well, under Piccolo Systems --> Downloads --> Piccolo Setup and User Guides,
there's a link to this Piccolo Simulator document:
http://www.cloudcaptech.com/download/Piccolo/Piccolo%20Documentation/Version%202.1.1%20Docs/Software/Piccolo%20Simulator.pdf
In the Introduction of this document they mention the "open source
Flightgear simulator". Then, on page 40 they explain how to install
Flightgear, and on page 42 they finally "discover" one of Flightgear's
how-to pages. From here the user could get to all Flightgear information and
sources.
I agree they could have mentioned Flightgear's link for the sources in a
more otstanding way; nevertheless, it seems they are not trying to hide the
"openeness" of the simulator; they may have overseen something in the GPL
rules, and by presenting to them this issue they would include a link to the
Download Source Code page.
