I read it as a statement, also. But I am curious. If it is freeware
then why has the author chosen not to release source code. Perhaps,
he/she can explain?
I think that it would be a nice trend when releasing
not-for-profit-software to release source code with it.
FYI: This is not a flame/condemnation/criticism.
