[Discuss] Ubiquiti Networks is creatively violating the GPL



It's worth noting that in respect to at least a portion of his 
claims the original author of the complaint provided an update:

"Update: Some people have expressed doubt that this is done in 
the kernel, and could have been done in userspace. In response, I 
would like to note a violation that is easier to verify. 
ag7240-eth.ko is a binary-only kernel module contained in 
Ubiquiti's firmware. Instructions on how to confirm this are 
here." with a link to 
http://libertybsd.net/ubiquiti/instructions.html That, itself, 
has this link: "Here is a relevant forum thread: 
http://community.ubnt.com/t5/airMAX-General-Discussion/Release-the-SDK/td-p/39551 
"

The implications of that thread is beyond my limited capacity to 
grasp.
