I am glad to see that the source code link above works, because sourceforge no longer lists any source for the project. All I was able to find was the svn trunk, listed from here: http://www.powerfolder.com/about_us.html (click on "Access to the java source code repository")

[James Stansell (jamesstansell)]

The source appears to be in a git repository now.

I reviewed two recently modified source files and their headers also stated GLPv2.
