And to expand on that, the PSPP developers release source code and each
platform (Windows, Mac, each Linux distro) then needs a package
maintainer to compile the software and "package" it to make it available
for end-users.
(To be clear, end-users are also allowed, even encouraged, to compile
the software themselves, but that is beyond the technical capabilities
of the average computer user.)
So virtually 100% of the users of PSPP are using a version made by
someone else.
Not that it's a bad idea to find out who made it. You are trusting that
the compiled code is sound. I can vouch for having installed and used
the Windows version of PSPP, but obviously your mileage may vary.

Hi all, sorry if this has been answered.
This page says we can get a windows version of pspp
https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html
Which goes to here
https://caeis.etech.fh-augsburg.de/downloads/windows/1.5.3-g797d4c/
Is there any information on who made this version?
Thanks
Gene
