There is software, which goes by the name of Vision, which uses the source code 
of XBMC - http://xbmc.org/

The source code for XBMC is open source and licensed under the GPL - 
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/LICENSE.GPL

The developer of Vision has their own forums at - 
http://coinopsproject.freeforums.org

Now this developer, who goes by the username of BritneysPAIRS (real name Ken 
Disson), refuses to release his modified source code as and when he releases 
the binaries.

I have contacted XBMC, but as they are a collection of people who freely submit 
there time and effort into XBMC, they cannot afford to do anything about this 
flagrant violation of the GPL. 

It is saddening to see someone who is able to get away with this, who often has 
shown on his forums utter disregard for the work done by others, yet who 
benefits from that same work. 

Can anything be done?
