The GPL is not in cause; a binary released with a non-free license
could also have attribution issues.

Looking carefully at :
http://sourceforge.net/u/j-e-f-f-g/profile/
nothing appeared to be released.

But a Google search for zitaretuner shows some previous activity on
SourceForge. I can see: 

"zitaretuner. LV2 and LADSPA versions of Fons Adriaensen's pitch
retuner. Brought to you by: j-e-f-f-g"

It looks like the software was attributed to j-e-f-f-g, as a version of
retuner by Fons Adriaensen.

Is there a link to the current release? How can we get the software?
