I agree that it would be nice if compiled VFP code handed out to the
public domain whould include source code all of the time. But if a
person doesn't want to release the source code, then that's their
choice, and we all have to live with it.
The original code in question was a bunch of C, not VFP. One person on
this list put together a library and didn't want to make the C code
available. This is a reasonable choice.
In this case, I support the decision not to release the code.
