The suspended support and the removal of all binaries is brought to
you by an unhappy GPL waving, source demanding, end-user........ Since
this person has pushed the issue of the GPL status of the source to
the limit and demanded that I give it to him based on the clause #7 of
the GPL guidelines, even thought I am the author and have the right to
change the license status at will. There will be no more binaries
releases until this issue that this person has pressed me into a
corner that I have not outs. If the source is allowed to be made GPL
again, everything will be normal again; however, if the status of the
source can not be changed, apcupsd will be terminated. Because this
person has left me without any room to move. I am sorry to have
allowed myself and the packaged to be pressed into almost no-win
situtation.

Mike, you're a real hero to all of us. Instead of having just binary
only support we now have no support at all. Thank you very much.
