With all the comments wrt GPL and licensing...
Am I correct in assuming that you'd have to buy the product to find out? They are under no obligation to give anything away, but if they provide binaries, they surely must also provide sources.
Yeah, you have to buy it. They do a 30 day demo, surely that can't come with source!? Wonder how GPL deals with that.
I think the GPL is pretty clear. If you give someone a binary, you have to give them the source. There is no "out" for a 30 day demo.
(Please note I'm not trying to make trouble, just curious!)
I know. Licensing issues are always trouble, though. :-(
