Why not force TGC to act. I presume that your license for these products were to Aliencodec. Aliencodec no longer exists. I do not recall a transfer of license obligation to TGC. Nor have they maintained the product as per the original license which, like any contract, is now void.
Therefore, if someone would post BlitzTree and Blitz Grass to the Blitz community we would surely find out TGCs position sooner rather than later.
Since they dont appear too concerned over BlitzTree or Grass I suspect nothing much will happen except the Blitz gang having another good tool.
Software licenses and IP are tricky beasts, just look at Symantec and MS and the problems theyve had. Unless Alien Codec transfered the IP to TGC with their obligations to the product intact to TGC than a simple IP transfer where a product is concerned does not constitute a transfer of license.
In short AlienCodec is gone, what are they going to do? TGC will need to prove they not only purchased IP, Code and customer base but also prove they are living up to the promises Alien Codec made to their customers prior to selling out to TGC. Unlikely.
My 2 cents,
Allan
