At least I seem to remember a Winblow$ version being released. Could be wrong,, whatever just my .02... They do have a link (in a very small font) to the source, and they do mention that it is LGPL licensed. So, it appears they meet their legal requirements. However, I have little respect for someone charging $47 to download what is otherwise downloadable for free. Not to mention the sneaky domain name trick. Legal, perhaps, but unethical in my book. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
