And a very good question indeed, which for now would suit my
personal purposes. If anyone does have such source, due to the
licensing of the package, sharing it would not violate the
licence at all.

Could someone send me a copy of the source if they have it
please? Or alternatively could you privately email me where I
can retrieve it? This is for my own personal usage, and no
other, so don't worry about the source being put up for general
download. I don't want APC coming at me either...

Thanks in advance.
