  1. Hello, According to my current understanding, the AutoHotkey language and its standard library is licensed under the GNU Gplv2 license, the text can be found here: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/license.htm I would strongly recommend that you with this rewrite take the opportunity to use a library that is not licensed under such an aggressive license. IANAL but it is my understanding that it is currently illegal for tip.it or any site to distribute sweeper in its current form until the original source code from which the executable is derived is made available for distribution. The terms of the license that are of special relevance in this case are: Section 2b: You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The entirety of the AutoHotkey source can be found here for verification: https://github.com/AutoHotkey/AutoHotkey I am not attempting to inconvenience any of the parties involved, my motivation solely rests in the desire for sweeper to be distributed in a legal manner to prevent any legal conflict.
