It is, indeed. But ... the "terms and conditions" page reads:
| [...] rights in and to the Software shall remain in YODASOFT
| TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD, except for the xosd library and the usb device
| driver, which are both installed into the 'hidpoint/lib' and
| 'hidpoint/driver' directory of the installation. These components are
| licensed under the GPL license.
Note that they mention the GPL (not the LGPL). Such a combination is
clearly illegal - you would need the libs to be LGPL'ed to allow closed
source to be linked against them.
Apart from all that, I don't wish to see ads for whatever software
someone may have written here.
