Setting up a GPL Request for companies in China?

[Kenney Phillis]

There's a lot of companies in China which are producing tablets with gnu
source. One of the companies that i know of is Zenithink. I'm wondering
what the best choice is to go about making the gpl source request is for
this.

I already have a list of gpl components, besides the linux kernel
found... the list is as follows:

uboot, glibc, busybox, realtek (gpl), vivante graphics (gpl), and
Marvell (gpl), ffmpeg (lgpl)

All of these elements where found by using the strings command on the
images used to flash a client update, and using grep on the output.


strings u-boot.img | grep U\-Boot -a4

U-Boot 2009.08 (Sep 01 2010 - 14:30:16) for android 1008MHz ddr126 256M
4L fast

strings system.img | grep license\=GPL -a4

This is what revealed:
Marvell International Ltd. ( M-WLAN Driver )
Sololz of InfoTM (gpl driver, don't know what tho)
Vivante Graphics Driver (GPL driver)
realtek wireless driver (multiple samples)



strings system.img | grep BusyBox -i -a4
syslogd started: BusyBox v1.15.2
fsck (busybox 1.15.2, 2010-03-18 15:36:31 CST)

strings system.img | grep \(c\) -i -a4| grep -i busybox -a4 -i

strings system.img | grep gnu\.org

TLS generation counter wrapped!  Please report as described in
<http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html>.

strings system.img | grep glibc -i 

This revealed the following, which is nice to know of...

*** glibc detected *** %s: %s: 0x%s ***
glibc 2.9
GLIBC_PRIVATE
glibc-ld.so.cache1.1
GLIBC_2.4


They have an us distributor...

and here's the company site:

and lastly, they have prior knowledge of this, and they keep ignoring
gpl requests:
