Unfortunately, the "GPL" is only a leverage tool that W9CR (and a few<br>
others) are barking about to quickly gain "community" support. You all are <br>
being used a pawns.<br>
<br>
There is a lot more to this story not known by many people.<br>
<br>
Little details like when Jim Dixon passed, he had no will ("Intestate").<br>
There is an open Probate case in the LA county courts right now. But no<br>
mention of anything related to AllStar. In fact, Jim had NO assets listed <br>
at all. Look at these Court documents for yourself. This is a link to <br>
the LA County Court website: <a href="https://www.lacourt.org/page/CI0100" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.lacourt.org/page/CI0100</a><br>

<br>
When exactly did W9CR or ASL obtain copyright ownership?? This question<br>
has been asked repeatedly "behind the scenes." No Answer. I have<br>
personally asked various persons for a legal statement about this. No <br>
Answer.<br>
<br>
Yes, I've seen the history posted by KE6PCV.<br>
<br>
I (and HamVoIP) have continually been called a "criminals," etc., by W9CR<br>
(and a few others). Are you aware that "criminal" proceeding can only be<br>
initiated by the copyright owner?? So far, I've not been contacted by the<br>
owner??<br>
<br>
Some other interesting facts include:<br>
<br>
How did W9CR obtain 9+ domains previously owned solely by Jim Dixon, as of<br>
his untimely death?? They include:<br>

Jim also owned a /21 IPv4 subnet (<a href="http://206.82.240.0/21" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">206.82.240.0/21</a>) when he passed. That<br>
also now belongs to W9CR, as of about 03/28/2018. See:<br>

<br>
<br>
I guess you're also not aware that W9CR is trying to TRADEMARK the <br>
word-mark "AllStar" ??? Try searching the USPTO and take a look at the <br>
exhibits presented! Here is a link: <br>

Unfortunately, it seems the pot will have to be stirred. This useless bull<br>
hockey WILL finally get resolved for once and for all.<br>
<br>
