Incorrect. Verizon chose to comply with the GPL, through the
agency of its router manufacturer.
Hmmm... now it's through "agency" of someone not even named in the
lawsuit as a defendant.
GNU fans never lose, they just concentrate on mooooooooooving the
goalposts. Sorta' like shiftin' the blame to your little cousin
Humperdink who isn't there to defend himself. That's efficient to
say the least.
The manual for Verizon's FiOS router, branded with Verizon and
its logo on the cover, can be found here:
<http://support.actiontec.com/doc_files/MI424WR_Rev._E_User_Manual_20.8.0_v3.pdf>
On page 204, it now says C.4 GPL (General Public License) This
product includes software code developed by third parties,
including software code subject to the enclosed GNU General
Public License (GPL) or GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

available on the enclosed product disk and can be accessed by
inserting the disk into your CD-ROM drive and opening the
“GPL.exe” file.
The router manufacturer, Actiontec, now displays a link on its
support page labeled "GPL Code Download Center" leading to
<http://opensource.actiontec.com/> where the GPLed sources can be
downloaded under the image of a smiling gnu and penguin and a
reversed copyright symbol.
When the result of a GPL enforcement action is GPL compliance, we
call that "victory".
