#FT2, "the fastest mode" is currently only available on Windows and there is no source code. It should not be in our bands like that.

@Ea5iyl AFAIK, WSJT-X is licensed under the GPL and if they're distributing a modified version without source code, they'd be in breach of that license.

@Ea5iyl If they aren't willing to follow their legal obligations regarding licenses, why would anyone trust them with respect to any other legal obligations, including those we as operators are responsible for upholding on the systems we control? They have acknowledged using GPL source code and yet refuse to release source code for their binaries. That tells me pretty much everything I need to know about them as people.
