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!"

    Its probably because linksys doesn't want all you kiddies out there that don't know what their doing screwing with the source code and messing up their routers then complaining to linksys that it doesn't work.
