So called "Bob Smith" you have been told already that the control is a wrapper (set of hooks around TightVNC files) - so it doesn't violetes GPL. We have had enough with you - "Bob Smith" and that's the last time myself or Adam is answering to your emails. "Bob Smith" keep looking for download, I wish you a long life so you could wait forever.

I just had another direct email from Adam asking me for personal information and telling me that they still refuse to hand out the source code because they disagree with what you just said. Now, this is no longer a matter of me wanting the ActiveX control but a matter of principle. I really don't want the control that badly but if someone is going to steal an open source product like this, base a company around it, and turn away abruptly those that ask for the source, I believe that the issue needs to be dealt with strongly or this sort of thing will go crazy and the GPL will be worthless. Smartcode, When can I look forward to the download of the source code? I really have nothing against your company and I think that your product would be great if it was just open source like it is supposed to be!
