I was not referring to the source only the program, although i do have issues
with someone cloning another program and then "keeping it private", not that i
am particular eager to get my hands on it, but it seems disrespectful to the
author of Fruit, to treat Toga is if it is a private project, not to mention the
GNU public license.

Also isn't sending a version of derived work for someone to test considered a
release?
