People,

     Recently "Projeto Tracksource" released a new version of its TSuite
tool with Garmin compilation feature.  Out of a sudden the JAR grew from
2.5MB to 4.5MB.  Probably this tool incorporates mkgmap code.
     TSuite is distributed as close-source and does not mention mkgmap.
     TSuite JAR is obfuscated, which casts suspicion itself.  But being
obfuscated, it also makes proving GPL infringement difficult.
     Is there any other way to prove that a Garmin map has been compiled
with mkgmap?  Something like a water mark or some digital fingerprint?

    "Projeto Tracksource" website: http://www.tracksource.org.br .
    You can dowload the JAR file here:
http://www.tracksource.org.br/index.php/desenvolvimento.html .  Hit a
button called "TSuite jar" to download it.

regards,

Paulo
