Well, they neither mentioned the use of free software at all nor did they include the mandatory written offer. They _did_ distribute the devices, yes. This can not be denied, especially since their name is printed on the device :) The small twist I could imagine is now that they say, that they did not provide the device to me and say that I should ask the one that I bought the device from. >> Since the three years that are guaranteed by the GPL are running I would >> like to get this settled rather sooner than later. > > The three years is from the point in time that the binary distribution > took place. I.e. today if they are still distributing binaries from > their servers and you have downloaded a binary today. I am working on the binary distribution part now. They have protected the download by a user-agent check, so that a direct http download from a brwoser or wget does not work. But this should be moderately easy to find out. > Regards > Henrik Cheers nils
