Jordi,
Thomas provided MacOS X binaries for several years and also made the scripts
needed to produce the bundles available on sourceforge. My impression is that
he is familiar with the terms of the GPL.
I expect Thomas was unaware that Corbin's source code was available.
I assume it wasn't your intent, but the tone of your email strikes me as
disrespectful and argumentative. I don't think Thomas email deserved such a
response.
