Possible GPL violation?

[Fredrik Persson]

Oh, I know all about that. Problem is, they're not doing anything at all, 
basically. They're just stalling the whole thing. First, they don't keep an 
ftp-site or a webpage where you can download it. The only way to get the 
source code is to email a certain guy. This is stated in a readme file. So, 
that's what I did. Turns out that guy is not in charge anymore, and the guy 
he forwarded my request to just forwarded it to some other department. (The 
"release dept.", as he said.) 

Why all this trouble? I mean, what's wrong with a tarball on their webpage? I 
get a feeling that obtaining the source code may not be that easy. They're 
not very cooperative.
