Freecom violates GPL

[smirnoff onice]

Hi, all

how fast things can go...

Freecom is about to release the sourcecodes for the firmwares (I'm told by the admin of openfsg.com) only a matter of days he says.

If they do, is this the end of the story or are there more things to consider?

Not sure of course, but I hope a little nudge from us helped ;)
