Hi,

are there any current activities regarding MacroSystem?

They sell a home theatre system called DVC1000. I just checked the
"firmware" of that system (because we have such a system and having ssh
access would be really nice to fix some performance issues). It's using
grub and vmlinuz-2.6.28.5, and there are two ext3 filesystems in the
firmware. One of them seems to contain a Debian/Lenny system.

There is no mentioning of the GPL within the ISO image, and searching
the pdf manual of the DVC1000 for "GPL" or "Linux" has no results,
searching for "GNU" just reveals several hits for the word "maGNUm".

On their website they have a copyright-page wich is rather outdated
(last modification in 2002):

http://www.macrosystem.de/d/imprint_copyright.html

Nothing about the DVC1000 or the debian system they're using there.

I wrote a email to support at macrosystems.de for guidance on how to
get the gpl sources of the DVC1000 firmware, and I'm going to
doublecheck that there is no written offer in the box that I might have
missed so far.

Danny
