If you look closely when 'RUNNING' the program, you will see a GPL notice ....
So you're saying I have to download a binary-only program and run it on a
machine I don't own under an OS I don't have a license for to see this?
In any case. I don't believe a binary-only program
can be released under
the GPL, certainly not under the GPL that I am familiar with.
Did you ask for the sources, or just jump off on your high horse and take
off down the road?
I have, unfortuantely, come to the conclusion that the
main reason people
won't release their source code for free programs written
non-commercially is that they are ashamed of it. And that means I am
unlikely to wanty to trust the binary, even if I can run it.
Tony, you're a jackass. You know this, right?
Olivier(sp?), ignore him. He's a special needs geek and doesn't know how
to behave in polite company.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
