The main point I remembered from the last thread with "Impro-Visor" in the 
title: It uses gpl software itself. Which means that it has to publish the 
modifications of that part at least.
And as the software is GPL licensed, the source _has_ to be made available at 
least on request by ways equally convinient as the binaries (afaik this ruling 
in the gpl-text wants to prevent that requests for the source-code have to be 
written on 200$ notes or that the >1million lines of code are sent via fax or 
snail-mail).

If someone says software A is released as GPL and doesn't release the source 
(upon request) its not GPL. If software A uses GPL software it has to be valid 
GPL software itself.

(I probably get corrected by Paul Davis in the next answer...)

Have fun,

Arnold
