there's a search going on within the wireless community networking for 802.11 access points that have Linux embedded, or that could be modified to do so.
if anyone knows of one, let me know.
it seems to me there should be many of them, but that fact is often hidden from the public.
so, in the case that a product has linux embedded and the manufacturer doesn't want to provide the source code for it, and has hidden the fact that it's built with linux, what happens? how does he get caught?
it seems that perhaps Linux needs some tech savvy lawyers..? ____________________________ NYLXS: New Yorker Free Software Users Scene Fair Use - because it's either fair use or useless.... NYLXS is a trademark of NYLXS, Inc
