Hi, i am Johannes Storm and this is a letter about a possible GPL-violation by Freecom Technology GmbH. I have to wrote the letter because Freecom don't publish the code of the current firmware versions for some of their products. This firmware runs on Freecom Storage Gateway (FSG3), Datatank (DT2) and Network Drive Pro (VT4) and consists almost entirely of free software.
The first version with unpublished code is 4.4.2 from Febuary 13th 2008. There are alot requests to Freecom about the code by email, phone and in the official forum: - http://www.freecomforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9710 - http://www.freecomforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16569 - http://www.openfsg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7618 and not least, this letter. The support of Freecom always say that they forward the requests and the code will be published soon, but nothing happens since over a year. We also know from Freecom support that there is no active development anymore on this firmware. But because there is a active community, which develop and support themselves, it is necessary to get the newest code for futher working on a Community Release (http://www.openfsg.com/index.php/FSG-3_Community_Release). This letter is to ask Freecom to publish the code and continue to do so promptly in all subsequent versions too. Futhermore i call on the copyright holders of the affected software to enforce their rights. Thank you very much Johannes Storm The following list shows parts of the inluded OpenSource Software and some infomations: - gpl-violation.txt This open letter will be published to Freecom, Free Software Foundation and the copyright holders or maintainers of the included open source software: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] -- Ich unterstütze signierten und verschlüsselten Emailverkehr via S/MIME (X.509 Class I) und PGP (OpenPGP). -- Ende Signatur: Johannes Storm --------------------------
