The main point I remembered from the last thread with "Impro-Visor" in the=

title: It uses gpl software itself. Which means that it has to publish the=

modifications of that part at least.

And as the software is GPL licensed, the source _has_ to be made available =

least on request by ways equally convinient as the binaries (afaik this rul=

in the gpl-text wants to prevent that requests for the source-code have to =

written on 200$ notes or that the >1million lines of code are sent via fax =

snail-mail).
If someone says software A is released as GPL and doesn't release the sourc=

e=20

(upon request) its not GPL. If software A uses GPL software it has to be va=

GPL software itself.
