That's a good point... While the software IS myth related (and it
looks like a good program)....and complaining about donating to
charity is sorta taboo... the fact still remains that instead of
creating an open source windows client for Myth, he created a
closed-source non-free client. it sorta goes against the MythTV idea.

Plus, I'm pretty sure GPL doesn't technically allow that - TapeWorm
wouldn't operate without Myth, and thus it's using Myth as part of its
system.
