Hi. I'm using SN Systems gnu make version, I have been in contact with them because I would like to have the source of their changes. Thus far i've not been able to receive the source code from them. (They even blocked my email address by their spam filter now!)
I received vsimake.exe with the details that SN Systems offer to provide the source code for their changes. So I would like to get my hands on their patch + ChangeLog finally!
I'd like to know:-
(1) if their customers really have a gnu make license exception (to stop them from redistribution)?
(2) Are their customers really not allowed to give out their modified gnu make exe with the SN Systems offer of source code?
(3) Are their customers really the ones I need to be in contact with for the source code as ~SN systems suggest? (their customer [who gave me the exe] was not provided with the source by SN Systems as far as I know, just the SN Systems offer of source code).
If someone can help me out I'd much appreciate it!
Dave
p.s. This is their last email to me. (Their reason 2 seems to contradict their reason 1.)

Hi Dave,
Ooooops... You didn't tell me where you got the executable from.
I need to know for 2 reasons.
1) We have confidentiality agreements with all our customers so that they do not redistribute any of our software (including GPL'd software)
2) If they redistributed the vsimake.exe program then they should rewrite the GPL policy to state that they will provide the source code.
So I need to get in contact with them to tell them the error of their ways.
Once you have provided me with this information I will happily send you the source code.
