Zinwell 620HD. Sold as non-rebradged via many retailers in New Zealand
and rebadged as a DSE DVB-T unit and also sold as Olevia outside New
Zealand

As discussed on the below link the DVB-T STB runs linux and also
includes busybox. No GPL Licence is included with unit or offer for
source code.

I have contacted most people involved with the Unit and no one has
replied including the manufacturer Zinwell except DSE
(www.dse.co.nz)(so have rebranded it in New Zealand but all they are
doing as far as I can tell is asking zinwell for the sourcecode)
(www.zinwell.com.tw/www.zintech.com.tw)

Even after notifying DSE about the GPL Problem they haven't changed
anything and still selling without any need GPL information.

Anyone have any comments?

Thanks
Craig
