Yep, but I suppose it only needs for you to get burned once for it to put you
off trying again.
And given Dave's statement about NDAs, the source *is* there if someone wants
to port it to another system or use it to enhance their own copy - it's just
not publicly available to everyone via the website.

Hi
I usually release my source code but I still get
email requesting the source code. I even include readme's
at times telling one how to rebuild things ( often as
important as source code ). I still get messages asking
for my source code. Go figure!
