That is not rly correct. They provide the source code if you subscribe which is enough to honor GPL. The part about not distributing the code and not building a fork / competitor is against the GPL. GPL would even be honored if they print out the code and sent it to you per mail after you asked for the code. GPL does not mean you have to host the code on a public site.
Yes quite right ๐ you are correct.
I am merely expressing the sentiment that has angered so many.
I hope there'll be an update to the GPL after that.
Could one of their subscribers just publish it once they got ahold of it?
