[LAD] Impro-visor source code and fork

Hi all,

If anybody is interested, I have decompiled the latest Impro-visor version,
which has only been provide as a binary (in contradiction to the terms of the
GPL). So if you want the source code just let me know and I will send it.

I'm sure it won't compile immediately, since there are a number of incorrect
constructs returned by the decompilation. I will work on this in the next 
while to have it compile.

I think someone else mentioned they posted the older binary/source somewhere.
Perhaps this can be hosted at the same location (have to look back to see 
where that is/who posted).

Apart from that, I will be looking into forking Impro-visor in the next few
days. After making contact with the responsible parties about the GPL
violations, I have received no reply and the source code has not been
posted along with the binaries as is legally required. I also contacted
the department head at the institution responsible for this work to see
if they would look into the matter. Perhaps they can sort this out in the
next little while. Failing that, I will probably start a new project on 
SourceForge and be looking to put together a development team.
Contributions to the software by users will also be welcome. There will
be a need for new leadsheets, transcriptions, documentation, and even
translations of the user interface.

Cheer,

Raymond
