I am wondering here, just hypothetically speaking, if some renegade out there compiled it up and made an installer and gave it away for free, so you don’t have to fork out $50 for a precompiled binary, just for the heck of it, would there be anything legally wrong with that? Morally probably. But otherwise?

Openxtra is a 3rd party offering of the Win32 binary version. www.ntop.org is your better bet. There may be a small fee for the Win32 binary version there, but the source is still freely available. Luca believes that it's reasonable for those who want a pre-compiled Windows binary to pay a few bucks to subsidize his effort, but that anyone sophisticated enough to do the compilation themselves should have at it. Of course, running it on *nix is preferred anyway. Kurt On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 05:43, Eldridge, Dave <[email protected]> wrote: > Kurt this is what I saw last year when I needed to download it.
