Freecom violates GPL

[smirnoff onice]

Hi Jan,

wasn't aware that it had BusyBox, I assume the MediaPlayer also has one

I will look into it some more

Posted something on the official Freecom support forum
http://forum.freecompromo.com/viewtopic.php?t=3441

they only just removed spam and other explicit stuff and left the post, so I'm hopefull they eventually will comply (but will not sit waiting for it)

Thanks
