Is Linksys Violating The GPL?

Posted by timothy on from the could-just-be-a-glitch dept.

jap writes "According to this post on LKML, Linksys is shipping firmware for (at least their) 802.11g access-points based on Linux - without any sourcecode available or mentioning of it on their site. This could be interesting: it might provide the possibility of building an ueber-cool accesspoint firmware with IPsec and native ipv6 support etc etc, using this information!"

    Is "ueber" the UK spelling, like "colour?" Maybe LinkSys will be sued by FSF "uender" the terms of the GPL?

      no, 'ueber' is not a word, in any language. however, its the way people not quite bright enough to type über often spell it, which is german for above.

    Shouldn't that be "über"? The right faux Anglicization has a certain je ne sais quoi. N'est pas?
