I might be a Pollyanna (I realize she is abhorred by the Dutch), but they’ve released the code! And although two posters are saying it isn’t complete, enTourage is checking to be sure. Why not wait for their response? Dontpanic says they’ll have one within 24 hours. It could be an oversight, or (*gasp*) jcase could be wrong. If neither of those is the case, there’s a lot that can be done, but you realize even successful intellectual property cases for something as seemingly simple as the GPL could take a year or more to resolve. Such a long fight would be no small price to pay for the folks who wrote the source code, and if it were me, I’d wait forever. BUT, if you want the code to create apps, do you really want to wait a year for it—by which time a victory would be irrelevant?

NiaTrue,
Je Nederlands is goed! en je leert de juiste woorden!
No, it is absolute not my intention to put up a fight about gpl and source code!
I't rather see that entourage and the community developers come together and therefore I was talking about mediation by someone with a background and knowledge about law.
Let's hope this dispute will be solved soon and the users of the eDGe can have the best of both worlds.
