Actually, odds are that you do not OWN the software. You probably
licensed it, and you'd have to look at the license terms to see if it
can be "loaned". Most licenses prohibit loaning.

Shame that it is being squirreled away so nobody can use it
especially since it is still considered the best there is.

Considered by who? It's certainly convenient and structured in a way
that fits well with ham users, but for antenna optimization in general,
there are an awful lot of very sophisticated programs out there.

As for asking he does not answer Emails as he now works
in other areas. People have been asking for it so that they
can see and model Gaussian antennas for themselves and I don't know

I believe that the reason he doesn't respond is that he (justifiably)
felt taken advantage of by people who duplicated his software without
paying for it. So, he decided "well, if that user community can't be
trusted.. I'm not interested in providing support."

My interpretation, not Brian's.
