XTCommerce Violation?

I'm not extremely happy with their (= xt:Commerce GbR) handling of the 
GPL, but I doubt that they violate it (the GPL this is).
They do offer the complete package (including the GPL) to subscribers of 
their support-service, but do not make the download available for 
everyone -> fine I guess.

I do object that they are trying to force others, NOT to make the 
package available to everyone. Unfortunately they do not do this 
officially and basically they use their rights regarding the name 
"xt-Commerce". To be safe I'd rather change the name of the software 
than to risk legal trouble.

Anyway. There ARE sources for downloading the xt:Commerce package from 
other sources, though they are not easy to find as I have to admit.
