Sorry, that I haven't answered for so long,
but I was cut off of this list for a while and couldn't follow this
discussion.

Well, there was the GPL and no other information.
And I know, that it's based on a GPL-covered program.
Next to the GPL there was also a note, that it shouldn't be sold for
profit - and also that doesn't fit together.
But I don't want to send their address here in publicity.
Perhaps someone from the FSFE could have an eye on the case and talk to
them again. So please contact me in a private mail. It should be someone,
who speaks English and German and who is able to run Windows programs.
