I'd be happy to put a link to FDS on the PLIB home page - but there is
a problem.  You are only shipping the '.EXE' file for FDS and that's
in violation of the LGPL license for PLIB.

You must either release the sources, or the '.OBJ' files needed to
rebuild the program.

You *MUST* do this immediately - or cease distributing FDS.  THIS
IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER. (Particularly because you are selling
the full version!)  Once you have done that, you should make an
effort to reach people you've already shipped to so that they have
the opportunity to download the files that they are entitled to.

Please read the file 'LICENSE' at the top of the PLIB directory.

  "If you link a program with the library, you must provide
   complete object files to the recipients so that they can
   relink them with the library, after making changes to the
   library and recompiling it.  And you must show them these
   terms so they know their rights."

I take this matter very seriously.
