Brian,

This is going to sound like me having a pop at you again..... But I'm
not. 

There is no need to name and shame, someone who hasn't done anything
wrong. I'm not going to name anyone "so they can be avoided like the
plague". You want to avoid someone like the plague. Avoid me. I
screwed-up by not anticipating. Me, not Triode, not John. Me, not
Klongin Inc.

You know, where does this all end. Shall we stir the pot? If one of
these commercial entities is fulfilling their GPL obligations, (by
pointing back to the CS web site), from which source code isn't
available any more, what shall we do? Report them licensing@fsf. Shall
we get the FSF on my back? Shall we get their legal people coming down
on me like a tonne of bricks for not fulfilling my GPL obligations? I am
trying to help you guys and myself by getting this stuff made available
again. Images, the repo, source. My obligations didn't end the day I
retired. 

We don't need to be bad mouthing people who have not done anything
wrong, and especially commercial entities that can afford lawyers. I
don't know whether you guys realise this, but I am in a hole. I was in a
hole, and it has been dug deeper with the unplugging of the repo. So
calling people dispicable who don't deserve it and some sort of "avoid
like the plague" list, is somewhere we really don't need to go right
now. Think people, please!
