Linksys Still In Violation of the GPL?

Posted by Hemos on from the fess-up-and-correct dept.

A reader writes:"From a recent post to LKML: "...Clearly, the kernel source that Linksys provided cannot be used to recreate the kernel that they are shipping with their product. Therefore, they have been, and still remain in violation of the GPL." Several heavy hitters have signed this one, including Jeremy Allison and Alan Cox." There's also commentary from David Turner and Bradley Kuhn of the FSF.

    All this does is make companies shy away from Linux. Linksys should just move to BSD and forget about this GPL nonsense.
