    A little off-topic, but did anyone else notice this item on the PSI page?
    We recently learned that a commercial entity has taken Psi's source code and made a closed source product from it. They have chosen not to release the source to their derivative work, thus violating the terms of the Psi licence, the GPL.

    We are currently in talks with both the FSF and this commercial entity, and we'll be sure to let you all know if and when it's resolved. To protect the aforementioned company from hordes of angry Psi users and GPL advocates, we choose not to disclose their name. Don't even ask us, we won't tell... unless, of course, they decide to continue using the Psi code without releasing the source to their product, then you can have them.
