"When Verizon turns around and redistributes to customers, Verizon has

If Verizon buys routers from Actiontec, it may freely ship them to
customers without any GPL obligations. The FSF and SFLC sometimes
make overly expansive statements about what the copyright law and
the GPL require.
You are departing from the party line by a wide margin here! If you do not
reject this form of GPL Satan, Pope Stallman and Cardinal Moglen will
certainly excommunicate you!
How do you suppose that the SFLC could be so "overly expansive" as to put
their statements into the form of a lawsuit? Do you not suspect that they
are being serious?
and totally thumbed their noses at the SFLC
No, they settled and are now compliant with the GPL.
They refused to respond to the SFLC demands. The SFLC said so publicly.
There was no settlement. The SFLC retreated.
Apparently Verizon no longer has any obligations.
They comply with the GPL. See above.
And you call that a success?
Certainly. They comply with the GPL. See above.
Well Verizon is distributing GPL based products without Verizon
acknowledging the GPL. You can say that Verizon is somehow the same as
Actiontec, but you are not to be believed.
