I also asked Mr Bester regarding this, and he made his position VERY
clear in his response: As far as he is concerned, even repackaging his
software from the original .tar.Z archives to .tar.gz breaks the terms
of his licnce, never mind packaging it up in .rpm or .deb packages...
Basically, anybody who downloads other than sattrack-3.1.6.tar.Z has
downloaded a pirate version as far as he is concerned...
IMHO he is basically asking people to rip off his software by doing
so, but that's up to him...
Best wishes from Riley.
