I can't imagine a user who doesn't want the eDGe to improve. But give up the lame argument that threatening to sue the company is a good thing for users. Please. *rolls eyes* Who starts off a business relationship like that?

Sheri,
Demanding a company comply with the GPL license is not blackmail. Demanding money for GPL based products without releasing code is theft/fraud. Not understanding that is the mark of an amateur, and an ignorant (uneducated in general; lacking knowledge or sophistication) person.
They promised to release it over a month ago, and didn't until after I let the opensource community know of it. Thankfully enTourage released most (not all) of the GPL code they used, and its enough for me to do what I want for now.
