    shouldn't be impossible to test.

    put the router inside a firewall... something that creates a pop up window every time the router goes out for resources on the WAN side.. Hell, put it on a PC with two ethernet ports, one to your broadband connection, one to the router, and then bridge the connection. A firewall on the PC, or logger, should tell you every time the 'router' goes anywhere, and 'where' that it is trying to go to....

  16. You can't? on Can Watermarking Help Find GPL Violations? · · Score: 1
    Hmm.. I can think of a few ways...

    they all require secrecy, until the time of need. (lawsuit)
    simplest form would be to insert extra characters to the text based on a set formula.. i.e. after every 49th "A" insert a space.. and after every 273rd "e" insert a tilde
    most people will take it for a typo..
