mvix gpl violation

[Joseph Heenan]

Hi there,

mvix claim to ship a range of products based on uClinux:

http://www.mvixusa.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=36

Many of the firmware for mvix's devices are downloadable from this site.

However they refuse to supply any source code:

http://www.mvixusa.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=72

Within the product documentation supplied with the product (the 
MV-5000U) there is no mention at all made of the GPL status of parts of 
the firmware. Nor is there mention in any of the firmware downloads I've 
inspected.

Emailing mvix merely gets you either a link to the above knowledge base 
article, or the text of the article pasted into an email. They appear to 
believe this is sufficient to satisfy the terms of the GPL, which it 
clearly is not.

Could anyone suggest what the correct next step is please?

Thanks,

Joseph
