Brave license compliancy
A siker egyik eleme [...], másik pedig a Linksys merészsége, amely ahhoz kellett, hogy szabaddá tegye a Linuxot futtató router programjának, azaz firmware-ének a forráskódját. (Linksys, Linux, advocacy by Zsolt Köhler, CHIP, 2006 June)
One key figure in the success of the Linksys WRT54G had been Linksys’ being brave enough to release the firmware of its Linux based router.
What is brave there? It is just about complying to licenses – to the GPL. It is really good that people familiar with open source are reporting about open source in the mass media. Really.
