[Elecraft] [K3S] JT65-HF Beginner

[Kevin Stover, AC0H]

Big point.

Once he releases the source code under GPL he has no recourse. These 
developers can take his source code, do exactly what they want to it, 
and don't even have to change the name of the application.

If the program was written with GPL tools, compilers, libraries, dll's, 
etc..., as WSJT-X was, he is required to release the code.

He can charge for bis version of the program and charge for support. He 
does have control over what makes it into his version. Other than that nope.

<sarcasm> It's about time Elecraft released their code under GPL so 
pimple faced kids living in Mom's basement with no visible means of 
support, can write "some really cool stuff" for the Elecraft products. 
</sarcasm>
