right !
now GPLed components are w4r3z !
neopwn simply build upon GPLed components , and just doesn't share the source .
first the beta went private , which is fine ,I don't mind if he wants to get paid, but even people who paid didn't get the source of the binaries , and there is no where mentioned to get them .
this is required by the GPL license , If you distribute GPLed binaries , you have to accompany them with the source , or mention where to get the source .
If he wants to maintain a profit , fine , don't make the source publicly available , but people who paid you for the beta , and got the binaries from you , have the legal right to get the source code too.

If someone is doing something wrong here it's neopwn crew, and should be reported to FSF .

Telephone: +1-617-542-5942
Fax: +1-617-542-2652

and http://www.fsf.org/about/contact/email , select gpl compliance lab ..

if many people complain , they may do something !
