Hello, Hopefully this gets through, I'm not subscribed on the Devel (or any) fg list. And sorry for breaking threading, I read this this post from the sf ml archive page.
I received an ad for %&$ Flight Simulator ( http://www.%&$flightsimulator.com/ (1)) and looked at it and found it eerily familiar. Was only able to find this page: http://www.%&$flightsimulator.com/disclaimer.htm which almost confirmed my suspicion. Scanned the devel mailing list archive (is there a way to search the ML?), and came across this post. Jari Häkkinen <jari@fl...> wrote: > So I suppose one could test them by requesting the source.

They only have to provide the source to you if you somehow received the binaries. This hinges on what "public" means in release. see: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLRequireSourcePostedPublic + the 4 following questions. To be guaranteed right to request a copy of the source, you do need a copy of the binary. Anything else, becomes a debate on what "public" means. Steve 1) replace "%&$" w/ pro, didn't want to help them raise their search engine ranking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
