Well, calling it your own is out of order, but as long as they release their 
source code as required by the GPL, then selling it is a Good Thing (TM). I 
hope the LADs agree with me. I would certainly be delighted if my GPL'd stuff 
(which isn't directly related to LAD) got sold. It would mean more GPL'd 
applications.

I hope they decide to use the GPL rather than reinvent the wheel. Let's hope 
Beat Kangz will see the light if the benefits are explained to them properly.
