Hi,
It seems that the University of California San Diego which violated the GPL has decided to finally stop using my JAXML software in newer releases of their ENV software. The 0.9.4 you can download from their website, published on August 29th, doesn't use my GPLed library anymore, so they still use their own non-free license.
Older versions doesn't seem to be available for download anymore.
I'm still not officially informed of this, I've just checked their website.
However their website doesn't have a single word nor apologize about their passed illegal behaviour, and coming from a University I find this **VERY** impolite (I also work in an University).
They violated the GPL and my rights for at least nine consecutive months, so I expected at least a word from them on this subject. They only tell users of previous versions "please replace it with the current version".
Don't you find this "disturbing" ?
Anyway thanks to ALL who helped to solve this case in a pacific way !
The GPL will not go to court this time :-(
Thanks again to all.

OK, I'll mark this as resolved.

I think the outcome is more important than the apology.
If we could ask for something more, it is that they should make their software free. I could ask them. What does their software do?

Yes. However the packager finally sent me something which I was glad to read.

I don't really know, it's about Grid Computing. Some scripts to detect running machines in a network and their status AFAICT.
bye, and thanks again for your support !
