Maybe this is not an issue for this community, but SainSmart is distributing a compiled version of your GRBL 1.1f (v1.1f.20170801) without the GPLv3 license nor attribution nor source code. Customer support for SainSmart refuses to give the modified source code for GRBL in part (cpu_map.h, config.h) or in whole in order to compile GRBL 1.1h for their Genmitsu CNC hardware. They distribute your works via USB stick and download.

I've had a long email chain with SainSmart, as well as with the FSF (Free Software Foundation) and their GPL-violations team, and they advised me to get the GRBL community in the loop.

I can provide evidence I shared with the FSF if this issue is of merit.
