1. The GPL is _viral_. This was a major reason behind it's creation
and why an LGPL was also written. If you use, modify, distribute GPL
code you are under the requirements of the GPL. The LGPL allows for
linking of libraries and such with out triggering the viral effect. It

Sorry this is a very primitive understanding of the GPL and its

They do have to make the GPLed code available. If they have made any
mod's to the code to get it to work on their hardware then those have
to be released. If they have written all new code under a different
lic. they can keep that. I just want to be able to get what I am
legally entitled to

enforcing the source code redistrobution clause. Asus's lawyers are
already familiar with the GPL issues they are going to run into.

I'm building my Freevo on an S-Presso barebones box. This comes with a mini
distro, which is probably in violation of the GPL.
Asus, who make this do not offer source code to the distro - which would be a
