Since busybox is involved, please also report it to the Software Freedom
Law Centre <gpl at busybox.net> as described at
http://www.busybox.net/license.html under "License enforcement".

Make clear whether they met:

    3(a) of the license by accompanying it with the "complete
    corresponding machine-readable source code", or

    3(b) by accompanying the hardware "with a written offer... to give
    any third party... a complete machine-readable copy of the
    corresponding source code"

of GNU GPL V2.  (3(c) isn't open to them because they're a commercial
distribution.)

And then in addition, whether you found source online somewhere, which
doesn't mean they've met the license conditions.

Cheers,


Ralph.
