David, nice to hear from you! Since you haven't responded to me since the quoted email, I thought maybe you were offline for the rest of the weekend. I'm still interested in a copy of the source code so I can port over my changes to chan_voter.c. Here is the full, unedited context David is asking for. Note that he could have just as easily posted this himself instead of taking it off-list.

To: Tom Hayward <tom@tomh.us> Cc: doug@crompton.com Dear Tom. I am discouraged that you are trying to sour the HamVoIP project using a stupid GPL argument which we both know will hold no water. *I* am the software developer, so *I* will choose to release the source code when *I* am ready to do so. So lets don't argue subtleties of the GPL 2. If you want to fight a GPL battle, I suggest you go after any one of the dozens of for-profit corporations who shamelessly embed Linux in their products and REFUSE to release any code whatsoever. And, then if they do EVER release any code, it's hacked up garbage that is useless. If you want to download, use and further develop our software release, I'll be happy to cooperate. But, if you're just trying to be a wanna-be GPL cop, I've got no time in the day to waste on further discussion.

That isn't what it says at all. By the terms of the GPL, source has to be available. Nowhere in the README does it say that the source *isn't* available, nor does it say that this fork *isn't* open source. Of course it is. It just says the source is not distributed in the image, but it can still be had.
Talking about making the source available and actually making the source available are two different things. So far there has only been talk about releasing the source, eventually. This does not meet the criteria of the license.
Giving Doug the benefit of the doubt, I asked for a link to the source. He deferred to a README that does not contain the source. I'm still waiting for that link to the source code.
