  The acquisition was some time ago as it happens; it was fairly widely
discussed at the time.

  And guess what!  The scumbags have withdrawn all of sysinternals' source
codes, using the bogus 'explanation' that it might cause "integration problems
[...] with other Windows components".  MS is acting like the worst cliched
stereotype of itself.  <spit>

  Never forget, however, that your use of the tools remains governed by the
original sysinternals license, which contained no provisions for transfer or
assignment[*], and not any new "improved" MS licensing terms...

    cheers,
