Webservers take disparate actions based on parsing the URL string. As a truly simple example, ".cgi" URLs resulted in webservers executing programs to generate dynamic content rather than delivering a static page. It is entirely plausible that a URL containing "actiontec gateway" does exactly what it says, having the webserver contact another computer to get the file to be downloaded.
The evidence is as plain as day. You just do not have the

The persons who brought suit were in the best position to obtain such information, and they decided not to continue the action. You would like to believe that this is because they were afraid of Verizon, or secretly believe that the GPL is invalid, but that is just your imagination. There is no evidence for this. It is more plausible to believe that they decided that the Verizon link was not a GPL violation. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
