GPSTrackMaker might be an interesting software, however it is not 
Free Software. This mailing list uses the term free in the meaning of
freedom, not gratis. This among others mean freedom to share the software, 
modify the software and distribute modified versions. Degrees of freedom
the licence of GPSTrackMaker clearly denies.
Software disussed on this list has to fulfil at least the criteria 
for licences as defined by Open Source Group
(http://www.opensource.org/osd.html). 

You already distribute the binaries for gratis. We are open to
discuss in personal communication if and how you might apply one of the
free licences to your software.

Regards,
        Frank
