GPL components of InstantON for Uniwill M31EI1

[Mathias Hasselmann]

Hello,

This is my third attempt to contact you regarding that issue now. 
Didn't get any response so far when contacting Mr. Pestke and when the
support form on your website, which doesn't list InstantON, btw.

Well, I've got some Uniwill M31EI1 [1] which ships with some customized
version of your great software InstantON. This software uses Linux
components (more specificially components of the ALSA project [2]) for
Audio playback. As your version of Linux is able to fully control the
sound card of that notebook, whilest public versions of Linux are not
[3], I assume that your engineers modified the audio drivers to make
them work with the Realtek ALC861 audio chipset Uniwill is using.

In compliance with the GNU General Public License I am kindly asking you
now for helping me to get the source code of free software components
you used for producing the InstantON CD-ROM for Uniwill. I know you are
providing those source code for other vendors already [4], but those
files do not work for me, as you used some variant of Linux 2.6.13 and
ALSA 1.0.9-b24 for producing the CD-ROM I've got.

Btw - I am wondering why there is no information on that CD-ROM how to
get that source code. The GNU GPL clearly requests you do provide that
information on any copy of InstantON you ship. [5]


Friendly Regards,
Mathias Hasselmamnn
