Hi Bill,
You cannot be part of the open source community and then complain that
somebody borrows your code and then forks it. The JTDX project publishes
their source code and is doing nothing wrong IMHO.
If the WSJT-X team are getting hot under the collar about this, maybe a much
more restrictive licence would mollify them?

"JTDX outperforms WSJT-X, especially with overlapping signals. Also, JTDX is
more sensitive"
Hi Laurie,
that may well be true but only at the cost of more false decodes, using more
CPU resources than users with low spec machines might have or by applying a
customized message analyser to filter out possible false decodes that
potentially hides some valid decodes. Also there's nothing there for Mac
users, EME users, VHF, UHF or Microwave users either.
Bottom line is that there would be no JTDX without WSJT-X. Same applies to
JT65-HF, that would not be there if there had not been WSJT to steal
functionality from.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
