He's not asserting that it is illegal. In fact the poster states, "While this is a complete scam, I believe that it is not there where the GPL
is violated..."
Third of all, you do *NOT* have to distribute the code with a GPLed program, merely offer a way to get the code. This is often handled through a link located in the documentation and/or the program itself (like in the "about" box or the help section or something).
Once again, the poster wrote: "...and it is not available upon request (I sent an email as if I were a purchaser wishing to view the source code and received no reply)."
We are *well* aware of Luxuriousity. What they are doing is *not* illegal. We may not like that they don't give us credit on their website, but they aren't violating the LGPL or the GPL.
Hmmm... they might be if they indeed do not make the source code available in some way. It would also be interesting to see what sort of licence or EULA accompanies their stuff.
Please get your facts straight before trying to file lawsuits.
Chad, I love ya' man, but read the posts more carefully next time. -- Rod --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
