Thanks, THAT is a smoking gun. It would help to know whether there's
other GPL code in there (which shell, libc, etc.). The busybox guys
might want to take action if their code is in there.

And you want to have a reasonable complete map of the software on the
device so that you can check that the source code Emtec provides is ALL
of the (L)GPL code they have to produce.

Peter.
