Sorry, that I haven't answered for so long, but I was cut off of this list for a while and couldn't follow this discussion.

Just the link isn't ok. If this is non-commercial distribution it can only be done if the Andreas received an offer for accessing the source code. If that isn't the case, this is a GPL violation.
Well, not an offer directly, but just information on how to access it; at least for non-commercial distribution (section 3 (c)). I read it as "giving the link" == "the information"; but forgot that it should be accompanied with the actual distribution.
Anyway, the original poster didn't give enough information, so all we can do is guess.
Well, there was the GPL and no other information. And I know, that it's based on a GPL-covered program.
Next to the GPL there was also a note, that it shouldn't be sold for profit - and also that doesn't fit together.
But I don't want to send their address here in publicity.
Perhaps someone from the FSFE could have an eye on the case and talk to them again. So please contact me in a private mail. It should be someone, who speaks English and German and who is able to run Windows programs.
