If there's GPL code in there, then he's breaking the law if he's not
made the source available on request.  The website states:

"The initial release should be considered as a 'black-box' test version.
I am not prepared to release the code until it is ready. I'm sorry if
this is against anyone's principles. Live with it."

There's no such thing as a "black-box test version" with programs that
incorporate GPL'd code.  I don't doubt the source will come, but if
there is free code in there, the man is flagrantly violating the GPL at
the moment.  This is worrying.
