I have some Audiocodes units which appear to be running Linux, according to the unit's own "System Log" kern.warn Linux version 2.4.21openrg-rmk1 #2 Wed Aug 30 17:05:29 IDT 2006 However my contact at Audiocodes claims otherwise On 12/4/06, Yaniv Nizan <Yaniv.Nizan@audiocodes.com> wrote:> > > > I doubt that we are running Linux on the MP-202. Perhaps there is a reference to the OS on the PC that configures the deviceSo a few questions: 1) Does anyone know if the older Audiocodes devices (such as the multiport gateways) run Linux as well? 2) What does one go about doing to correct GPL violations? Perhaps someone has a generic legal letter that can be used in these situations?

So, Audiocodes probably licensed it from Jungo. Just because the unit runs Linux, doesn't necessarily imply that there's a GPL violation. Leo
Ok, so why was the GPL license violated? Or did Mr. Torvalds offer you an alternate license arrangement?
