Exactly in time. Just today someone asked here how to find GPLed code in an
EXE and could anyone to sue.

   "In stark contrast to the plethora of false alarms recently, there's a
pretty clear-cut case that Vidomi, a DVD ripping product by SloMedia, is
composed of a great deal of code from VirtuaDub, a GPLd product. As
SloMedia have refused all requests to either release their source or stop
using the code, the developer is planning to file suit with the aid of the
Free Software Foundation, in what could be the first legal test of the
GPL's enforceability."

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
