[TowerTalk] HFTA disc....

No, you haven't paid for the source code.  You paid to use the program.

I know of no agreement to open-sourcing the code in any agreement between
N6BV and the ARRL.

As hams, we've been blessed to have many exceptional PC programs provided
and supported free of charge or included with ARRL publications.  But those
programs are not open-sourced and we can't expect programmers to give away
their code for free.

Well, all this has been funded by the ARRL dues.  We members have all paid
for it.

It's not about the funding though. I have purchased 3 copies of the book and
have the software. But by locking it in the book the software has seen no
further development.
