Yesterday evening, I have browsed a great number of links and when it has been possible I had posted or mailed a text asking for removing of Internet Spirit Browser page from their pages.

I am a member of the team of developers K-Meleon, which as you know is free software under the GPL.
This license allows everyone to freely use and modify freely as the software in question.
The sources of K-Meleon are of course available online, and many programmers grass, see, do not hesitate to change the software as they see fit. And all this is very good.
In the case of Internet Spirit, for everything would be better if the author did not violate the terms of the license.
Indeed, the author of the modified code is not required to seek permission from the author of the official version, do no less obliged to mention the origin of the product, provide sources of codes used, and keep the product changed under the same license.
But on all these points, there is flagrant violation of GPL.
I ask you therefore to remove this product from your pages, as we have already asked several sites, and for which the responses were positive.
Have a look for example to the about page found on Hardy's page and the About page in K-Meleon browser, and compare it. It's really a shame ...

Thank you in advance to delete this robware of your pages.

During my test this morning, sites seems to evoluate and for a few of them, the comment can be out of date
, so I don't continue now my brwosing. I'll test a few hours later, and just post or mail for the few big download centers that always offer hospitality to that robware (robber+software)
