Anthony, my comments were about ham software in general, not the arissattlm code. Apologies if it came off that way.

Hi Guys,
This has always been open source, its just that the server is temporarily down. You can find all of the original LINUX code without the GUI on Phil's web site:
We hope to have the server with the ARISSatTLM Windows code up again soon.

What the original poster was asking for is the source, rather than precompiled Windows and Mac OSX binaries.
The source doesn't seem to be available yet. It's a shame that closed-source software seems to be so common in amateur radio - you get people sharing all sorts of information, but they just don't seem to have grasped the idea that letting people see the source code is a Very Good Thing.

Yeah, absolutely this is a problem.
What bothers me the most about this is saying I don't run Windows, or MacOS, or Linux, and then I just get the<blink> <blink> response, and that's it.
I know two kids interested at least to some extent about ham radio, both who are learning and understand open source culture, who were not exactly impressed with some of the closed source programs they've seen--and wanted to improve on.
But this is changing, and is yet another reason to get more younger people involved in ham radio in general.
