For those of you who like a good fight online...

Thought you might be interested in this SourceForge project
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ptokax/ who have made the unusual step
of releasing their project under the GPL (according to their front page
- I don't know what it says in their program as it runs on windows) but,
err... not releasing the source code. 

When asked to release it they've refused 
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=746701&forum_id=194517
and now they're leaving SourceForge rather than release it.

Sourceforge must know by now
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=660708&group_id=1&atid=200001

Funny how people register a project on SourceForge, part of the
OpenSource developer network, and then refuse to be open source. Hope
they enjoyed using the facilities. Feel free to give the pair of thieves
some stick on their forums.
