does DELL need to release their full srcball for their TrueMobile 2300 ?

[Benjamin Henrion]

Dell was collaborative in the past to put GPLed sources online under
my request and one email exchancge with Harald.

I could try to find out in my email archive who it was at Dell, but
the best is to write them a letter.

Please kick my ass to get this email in my archive, because it is
currently a mess.
