possible gpl violation in easybcd

[matthieu castet <castet.matthieu@free.fr>]

Hi,


easybcd (http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1) is a tools that provide a
modified version of grub [1].

At install time the EULA say [2].
The Code@NeoSmart.net doesn't work (doesn't exist).

Using the Licensing@NeoSmart.net [3] I got a reply [4]

Even if they didn't do any modification, I think they should :
- provide a valid email in their EULA
- provide a copy of the GPL
- provide the version they used and modification they done (if any).
