This is a misreading of both GPL and Flex policy. Flex currently uses proprietary code that it cannot distribute source for. The EZ USB code for the Ahti/Sami device is handled this way
and it is delivered separately from the console.

You may certainly install and use this utility in your computer and Flex radio and its policies have nothing to say on the matter. What must be open source is your code inside the console
that talks to it.

That said, I much prefer Phil's code/approach because we can extend it AND we have access to the software and we have an "interested" developer combined with early
adopter.

Stan,

Looks like a very interesting utility, unfortunately (after reading the
legal stuff on their website) it is proprietary code and doesn't fit in with
the open source philosophy of the SDR-1000.  Wish it were different since it
looks like exactly what I need for a current project.
