Not going into details regarding completeness of "complete corresponding source code" just witness the difference of the asp pages above and below: http://www2.verizon.net/micro/actiontec/actiontec.asp Verizon's actiontec.asp page is in clear violation of the GPL regarding distribution of the GPL'd binary stuff inside http://download.verizon.net/webdownload/firmware/upgrades/actiontec%20gateway/4.0.16.1.56.0.10.7-MI424WR.rmt. Recall that SFLC has lost the case miserably. The case was dismissed with prejudice against plaintiff and absolutely no settlement with defendant. http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/2007/dec/07/busybox/ "11. Upon information and belief, Verizon distributes to its customers the Actiontec MI424WR wireless router (Infringing Product), which contains embedded executable software (Firmware). Defendant also provides the Firmware corresponding to the Infringing Product for download via its website, at http://www2.verizon.net/micro/actiontec/actiontec.asp."; regards. alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
