Possible violation: Riverbed Steelhead appliance

Hi *,

I've just seen the classical Linux boot on a Riverbed Steelhead
appliance installed by one of my customers (I do free software
consulting/development for work).

Given the kind of technology (TCP compression/acceleration) I suppose
they are doing at least part of the work in kernel space but I didn't
find any reference to the Linux kernel, to the GPL or to sources/patches
both on the site, on the machine and on the documentation accompanying
it.

Is this an already know and real violation (please give me some pointers
then) or should I investigate more?

Thank you for your time and your efforts enforcing the GPL,
federico
