Hi,
easybcd (http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1) is a tools that provide a
modified version of grub [1].
At install time the EULA say [2].
The address@hidden doesn't work (doesn't exist).
Using the address@hidden [3] I got a reply [4]
Even if they didn't do any modification, I think they should :
- provide a valid email in their EULA
- provide a copy of the GPL
- provide the version they used and modification they done (if any).
