Here's an interesting thread:

https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/general-linux...

The tl;dr from reading between the lines is that having the open source version was crippling their commercial sales, so they tried to make it go away.

There's a nightly download from http://www.pathscale.com/ekopath-compiler-suite makes you click through a GPLv2 license (the GPL is not an EULA, dammit!) but there's no source included or any link to source.

But I did eventually track down a clone of the original github version here:

https://github.com/somian/Path64



I see. So basically they wanted to open it, but changed their mind. How does current PathScale handle the GPL though? Or they never updated the compiler since then?
