send the email chain with all the insults and legal threats, their public refusal to release the source, and all correspondence to the Open Source Foundation, whose GPL the source was originally licensed under.  Jim had an opinion about people like that...which is why he fought to keep it open source.

That's what their lawyers' job is; you aren't going to fight their massive self-reverential egos over there.

Neil,

I have taken these comments off list.

At this point you are taking a childish argument to a criminal level,
claiming a "back door" into the hamvoip distro and that statement is
absolutely a LIE.

With these statements you are committing criminal libel. Whether you you
it or not, I am an Internet Business owner and I build custom routers for
several fortune 1000 Companies and have thousands installed across 80+
Countries. Your comments are tarnishing to my reputation. I seriously
recommend that you either promptly come up with proof to back up your
statement or retract it.

A person with such contempt for the law should not be lecturing others about
it. I further fail to see why I am copied on this, are you threatening legal
action?

Release the source, you have no other option.

As someone building routers, you should be familiar with the finer points of
the GPL.  I have to say, as someone who also has a day job with a company who
builds routers, I've never heard of Internet Technologies.
