gCAD3D 0.72 released

The release is somewhat confusing. The author claims to release free software, but only distributes a binary. This is from the gCAD3D.txt file.

License: 
  gCAD3D is free software under the GNU-LGPL. 
  See http://www.opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-license. 
 
The package contains a executable binary gCAD3D and the sources of 
  some demo-plugins created with Mandrake 9.0.

When I asked the author about this, the mailed me:

Sorry, 
 
LGPL = no source (at he moment). 
 
It has 99800 lines (C), 1290 functions, 
90 % made by me.
