Is this the guide to compliance to the GPL ? It is full of loopholes!
The loopholes are not (only) in the GPL, but in copyright law. For the GPL to apply, it must first be demonstrated that the action in question is otherwise prohibited by copyright law. When the firmware download link points to an "actiontec gateway", there is a plausible argument that the owner of the site which holds the link is not the party responsible for GPL compliance. Rather, it is the owner of the site which supplies the copy when the link is activated. The rights holders to the software involved were satisfied with the resolution. The only reason you wish to claim that the result is not satisfactory is because you wish to believe that Verizon is willfully violating the GPL. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
