Expert Says Cisco's iPhone violates GPL

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday January 17, 2007 @12:36PM from the take-that dept.

Stony Stevenson writes "Even while Cisco Systems is suing Apple for violating its iPhone trademark, an open-source enthusiast is accusing Cisco itself of infringing copyright in the same product. From the article: "Cisco has not published the source code for some components of the WIP300 iPhone in accordance with its open-source licensing agreement, said Armijn Hemel, a consultant with Loohuis Consulting and half of the team running the GPL Violations Project, an organization that identifies and publicizes misuse of GPL licenses and takes some violators to court."

  Because it states something redundant.
  
  In this case, it restates what TFS already said without adding anything useful.
