Call the airline and tell them it's a free program.  If nothing else, it will
make the consultant's name become a stink.  He could also sell them Stobor or
something better if they are interested.  The whole thing sounds pretty strange.

If Tom has officially released his program to the public domain, there is
nothing that can be done to prevent someone from selling it for a billion
dollars to some schmuck.  That's the down-side of public domain.
