If by OpenSource he means that he used the OpenSource
tool chain, and libraries, and then is keeping his source
and executables closed, he may be in violation of
the GNU licenses.

Keenan,
You can see my GPSDO source code for a mere $50. It comes with manual and
executables. The executables alone are $20.

Murray ,
There's a huge difference between open-source and paying $50 to view
the code for ones own use.
Even if the code was cost just $0.01, but the code was not open to
public scrutiny, it detracts from its value. I've no objection to you,
or anyone else writing code for proffit - I have done it myself many
times. But your code is not open-source, and does not have the
advantages that open-source code has - open to public scrutiny,
ability to share improvements with the community etc. I can't quite
work out why the title is "Open source GPSDO" when the code is not
open-source.
