Fwd: LaCie Ethernet Disk RAID

[Thomas Charron]

  Sorry if this is the wrong place to forward this, but I was unsure
which place to forward this sort of information to.  We just
researched this on our mailing list, and indeed, they do not provide
any sort of GPL notifications, nor the code.

  They claim it is all 'proprietary' after we contacted them.

I just got a "LaCie Ethernet Disk RAID" which runs Linux.

They even tell you that the OS is Linux in the product feature chart.

See:
 http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10877

No where in the documentation (users manual, quick start guide, etc..
) is a copy of the GPL or even a mention of it.

I called their tech support line to see if they had a website or
something where I could download the source code or if they could mail
it to me and the tech support agent told me that I could not have it.
That the OS is proprietary!

How could a sane company use software in their product without
agreeing or understanding the License? If I owned any Lacie stock I
would sell it.

:/
