This is not enough. They have to distribute the source along with the
binaries or provide a written offer. They also need to inform you that
the software is under the GPL. For that reason I mentioned explicitly
that nothing ever mentioned anywhere.

According to this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gpl-violations#D-Link
gpl-violations.org already has won against D-Link in Germany. But it
seems it was not enough to prevent them from violating the license
here in Brazil.

I found their answer quite interesting. They were worried about what
they thought it was "their" mistake: not providing the information.
They were not worried about the "international" D-Link being violating
anything.
