Hi,
It seems that the University of California San Diego which violated
the GPL has decided to finally stop using my JAXML software in newer
releases of their ENV software. The 0.9.4 you can download from
their website, published on August 29th, doesn't use my GPLed library
anymore, so they still use their own non-free license.
Older versions doesn't seem to be available for download anymore.
I'm still not officially informed of this, I've just checked their
website.
However their website doesn't have a single word nor apologize about
their passed illegal behaviour, and coming from a University I find
this **VERY** impolite (I also work in an University).
They violated the GPL and my rights for at least nine consecutive
months, so I expected at least a word from them on this subject.
They only tell users of previous versions "please replace it with
the current version".
Don't you find this "disturbing" ?
Anyway thanks to ALL who helped to solve this case in a pacific way !
The GPL will not go to court this time :-(
Thanks again to all.
