According to eWeek's Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, aka "King of the Freetards," (http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/2007/12/six-more-incidents-of-copying-by.html LOL) http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS2614635569.html "For decades, almost no one challenged the General Public License in legal matters. In fact, no one has even dared to try to break it in court. That record remains unsullied as the biggest company to date--Verizon--that had been accused of a GPL violation opted to settle out of court. The Software Freedom Law Center filed a copyright infringement lawsuit on Dec. 6 against Verizon Communications on behalf of its clients, the two principal developers of BusyBox. The suit alleged that Verizon violated the GNU GPLv2 by distributing Actiontec MI424WR wireless routers--which contained unsanctioned GPLv2 code--that were used with Verizon's fiber-optic Internet and television service, aka FiOS. On March 17, the SFLC announced that Verizon has come to an agreement with the SFLC and the BusyBox developers, which enables them to dismiss the GPL enforcement lawsuit."
