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
Turn this violation over to the kind folks at the FSF. They have a legal team
to pursue such, and have AFAIK, a 100% batting record. Letters from attorneys
will generally get their institutional attention.
