[hpsdr] Expert Electronics of Russia (SunSDR2) in violation of the GPL

[Bill Tracey]

Hi John,

I was not aware until this week that the source for PowerSDR-IQ was 
not available.    I doubt Flex has said to Christos he cannot release 
the source for his modifications.   After reading through some other 
mailing list posts I get the feeling that Christos is saying he does 
not need to release all his source because Flex is not releasing all 
of their source.  On that argument I'd align myself with  Frank 
Brickle's succinct statement  on another list "What Flex does or does 
not distribute has nothing to do with anybody else's compliance with 
the GPL."

Regards,

Bill (kd5tfd)
