Looking on Actiontec's "Support: Open Source" website
(http://opensource.actiontec.com/index.html [actiontec.com]), I see the
following:
GPL Code Download is available for the following Actiontec products:
Wireless Broadband Router Model MI424WR
The following is the portion of the Actiontec source code for the
MI424WR Products.
List of modules:
busybox-0.50
Release Date Filename
11/27/2007 actiontec_opensrc_mi424wr.tar.gz
Hmmm... looks like Actiontec is at least attempting to honor the
license. I haven't researched what's in the tarball, but at least it's
there.
So, again, why is SFLC suing Verizon?
