Hello Peter!

It is too late now. The license agreements are quite clear of it. I am quoting
myself from the copyright notes in the Arena distribution as well as from our
Website:

"You may distribute the content of the program package only in unmodified
form. Especially, distribution of Arena GUI, SOS for Arena, Dragon, AnMon,
Nejmet, Ruffian, Betsy, The Baron, Chispa, EL Chinito and for ELOstat on
other webpages, newspaper, CDs, print and other media without the
permission of authors Martin Blume, Rudolf Huber, Bruno LUCAS,
Christian BARRETEAU, Jean-Christophe GABILLARD, Per-Ola Valfridsson,
Landon W. Rabern, Richard Pijl, Federico Andrés Corigliano,
Eugenio Castillo / Pascal Tang and Dr. Frank Schubert is not permitted."

Regarding Arena that reads:

"You may distribute the content of the program package only in unmodified
form. Especially, distribution of Arena GUI [..] on
other webpages [..] without the
permission of author[..] Martin Blume [..] is not permitted."

So you did not have the permission to offer my software Arena on your site, and
you do not have the permission by me. So I am asking you to remove my software
from your site.

Best regards,
Martin Blume
