Hi Curt, Not entirely sure whether you are being sarcastic or not, but I was able to get hold of the source code (without buying it I might add). It's not particularly easy to get hold off, or indeed to un-tar (various semi-corrupt files), but it is all there. As far as I can tell (IANAL) they are compliant with the GPL. I would strongly caution those wanting to go after this guy in person from doing so. It won't achieve anything. As Martin and others have pointed out numerous times, what we have is basically a marketing failure on our part. If people had put as much effort into marketing and evangelizing FG instead of griping about an unlikely GPL violation, we would be in a much better position. To be honest, the people doing the most to combat this are people like Mark Avery who runs The Flight Simulator Network and who has been ensuring that people are aware of the situation. I drafted an FAQ on this subject last time it came around, which was discussed in detail, but never published on our website. Perhaps we should look at that again? It would certainly help to have a official statement we could refer people to, rather than relying on 3rd parties. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
