It is independently verifiable through the WaybackMachine and other websites that Verizon was distributing the Actiontec FIOS router as early as January 2007, while the source code for the firmware was not being distributed by Actiontec as late as August of 2007. It is independently verifiable that after the lawsuit, that source code was available from Actiontec. It appears from other postings that Actiontec may have started making the sources available very shortly before the suit was filed, which would explain why the suit was so quickly dismissed. It is the purpose of the SFLC lawsuits to bring illegal distribution of GPLed code to a halt, either by preventing distribution or by having the distribution come into compliance. As we have seen, in each case where the SFLC has filed suit, after the suit was ended, distribution has come into compliance with the GPL. Therefore the conclusion must be that they are succeeding in attaining their goals. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
