The main point I remembered from the last thread with "Impro-Visor" in the title: It uses gpl software itself. Which means that it has to publish the modifications of that part at least. And as the software is GPL licensed, the source _has_ to be made available at least on request by ways equally convinient as the binaries (afaik this ruling in the gpl-text wants to prevent that requests for the source-code have to be written on 200$ notes or that the >1million lines of code are sent via fax or snail-mail). If someone says software A is released as GPL and doesn't release the source (upon request) its not GPL. If software A uses GPL software it has to be valid GPL software itself. (I probably get corrected by Paul Davis in the next answer...) Have fun, Arnold
