What he was saying was that he and other developers might stop working on future releases for free. There is a big difference here. You can still download the ones already released and use it for free, under GPL. I think you have misunderstood what Roger was saying.
I was not suggesting that existing versions would or could be removed.
BTW.
There is a general problem with the GPL license that was originally applied to the code by Kai, after Kai and I looked at the license on similar projects.
It is not actually possible to apply the GPL to the SGL binary file, because it contains proprietary sections for the AMBE codec (around half the total firmware size), which are from the original Radioddity firmware.
i.e We can't supply source for that part of the SGL because we don't have it, and anything to do with AMBE is a license problem.
Also.
Because of the additional clause(s) to the license only non-commercial use. This also renders the entire GPL license invalid.
Unfortunately this mistake with the license was made a long long time ago, because we copied the license from MMDMVHost. Only to find out later than Jonathan G4KLX got the license wrong for MMDVMHost
But at this stage its now difficult to change it, even though the license is actually totally useless.
