Note that the Bayes algorithm and everything else in the development
version is already "distributed"; the GPL does not distinguish between
being part of a "release" or not.  Even if NAI were the most evil
people in the world, the project could still continue on from the
existing 2.50 base (or from any other version).

OpenSSH is a good example of this; the developers of the original ssh
started restricting the license of later versions, so a team began to
develop it using an old free release as a base.

It would be nice to see a statement from the Deersoft principals
about what is going to happen, however, instead of seeing all this
speculation.
