Follow-up: GPL violations continue by OEM manufacturers using Sigma systems SDK

Hi,

I'm a developer at the Rockbox project and we're currently trying to
port a Aigo e235 (aka Reddmango Angora VX435).
As this particular device uses µClinux sources (and probably others),
we would like to complaint about this hoping we could get some source
code released.

In the firmware there is definitely some proof of µClinux + some
mentioning of the Sigma SDK.

As the Aigo is a Chinese company, I think we should focus on Sigma for
releasing (some of) the source code, as these Chinese companies tend
to not respond and cooperate.

A link to the firmware can be found at [1] and a picture of the VX435 at [2].

There were some earlier attempts to get some source code from Sigma
(see [3] and [4]), but these ended in nothing as the busybox sources
needed by the author of these mails were provided by the µClinux
sources.

I hope this will lead to something and that the constant GPL
violations by these OEM manufacturers get stopped.

Thank you.
