MTNL gets the right to distribute the modem from Starcom.. Starcom does not have the right to distribute the modem unless it complies with the GPL.. Starcom does not comply with the GPL.. Hence Starcom neither has the right to distribute nor the right to give the right to distribute the software to a third party.. Hence MTNL has no rights to distribute the tainted code..
