Verizon is the visible face for FIOS, so the suit was launched against them. I assume that in the process of discovering where things came from, the plaintiffs decided that since Verizon is redistributing Actiontec's routers, it would be sufficient for them if Actiontec would provide the GPLed sources (which they were not doing for most of 2007) rather than Verizon. It's quite possible that because of they way Verizon distributes the routers and firmware that they are in fact not subject to the GPL, because they resell the routers and serve the firmware through an Actiontec gateway. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
