    Why? Lack of sales? Not enough resources to continue supporting it as closed source? Something else?

    Thanks for making it LGPL!

    Please use CODE tags when posting source code so it is more readable. Click "Go Advanced" and then the "#" icon to insert the tags. Paste your code between them.

    Yep, I know how that goes. Hope that means that other aspects of your business are doing well.

    Looks like a lot of useful graphics tools. Do you have a .pro / Makefile / CMakelists for building gsl on Windows with MSVC or know where I can find one?

    Yes, it needs gsl and boost, which is under qframework/3rdParty/include, just uncompress boost.tar.gz & gsl.tar.gz into the same directory, you are good to go.

    That looks nice!

    If it is usable as a library you could consider listing it at e.g. inqlude

    If the company has decided to back off from making the software open source, then there isn't much you can do. Even if someone did download the source when it was available, it would get them into legal trouble if they distributed it without the company's consent. The LGPL license statement is not in the source code, it was only posted on the company's web site and that is obviously gone now along with the download link.

    It is pretty obvious from looking at the screenshots that there is a huge amount of work in this software. Someone at the company probably decided that the decision to put the software up as open source was not a very good one from a business point of view. It wasn't available for very long.
