The users of Verizon's FiOS routers are now, as a result of
the SFLC suit, able to run, read, modify, and share the
software supplied with those routers. As this is the only
purpose of GPL enforcement, we truly see a case of the pot
calling the kettle black.
Oh, I haven't heard of any Verizon customer re-programming his router. That
seems kind of useless anyway. If it's not working, call Verizon, they'll
come fix it for free. As to sharing the software, there doesn't seem to be
much of a demand for that either. After so many years of offering it all
for free, there are so few takers. Why bother with some second hand version
from Verizon anyway, if you are in the market for Linux and its layered
apps? You can get it from the horse's mouth with more certainty that it
will work and that you can get some support if needs be. I think it is
case of a tempest in a teapot.
The only people being hassled by the SFLC are the people using Linux in
their products. Seems like a stupid tactic.
