Their argument that if mass distribution of Winex
occurs, they''d go out of business is so NOT valid.
If they had invested mega-bucks developing the code
from scratch, they'd have a point.
However, they have merely *added to* code written
by many hardworking volunteers. What do
these people get for their efforts? A company
making money from it, and begging us not
to make them
accountable to the GPL and it's spirit.
Someone please package Winex for Debian. Even if it
has to be hosted somewhere else as
unofficial debs until official Debian matters are
resolved. Enable people to obtain the binaries
while beurocracy and committees take their course.
