Actually, the person who should really be pissed is Andries Brouwer, the
original author of the program.  He must have put in at least the better
part of a year working on the thing.  I think you should send E-mail
to him and make this fact known.  He may be willing to take legal action.

Regardless, what they are doing is illegal, and I hope someone puts
them in their place.

Gonna thump you...
