Why don't you contact them, may be they will pay you to use it, it does not interdict any GPL rights but allows you to make some money. SGC Chris

But credit should go where credit is due and now they've obviously figured that one out :-) The weird thing is that, with Open Source, they could have ported it across to IE, followed the GPL and still taken credit for porting it.. Ah well, their bad I guess. Hmmm well now looks like they’ve taken the product off the shelf :-)

It should also provide source, and give attribution to Chris. Maybe the IE people now have decent toolbar for Web developement, but it's still IE. Shudder.

It doesn't look anything like 'tools'. Lazyness? I wonder why they used the ‘download’ icon for ‘tools’. It doesn’t look anything like ‘tools’. Lazyness?

The extension is GPLed (http://chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/documentation/other/source/) so the derivative is also GPLed. Aevita is totally welcome to copy the extension and charge for it (the icons probably are a different story). However, the GPL gives freedom of re-distribution to everyone else. Why not give Aevita a taste of their own medicine? At least the IE folks have a good toolbar finally. Why not let the GPL do its dirty work?

That is completely unreal. Hopefully they get their asses sued off. The least the could have done was change the icons. Definitely going to support help Chris and 'contact' Aevita now. ...lastly, what designer/developer uses IE as their primary browser when building a site? Ho-ly! That is completely unreal.
