Greetings, my name is Nicolas.
Recently, I found OpenWrt being distributed as part of a closed-source
firmware, in devices manufactured by Askey, and this seemed to be a
violation against GPLv2, the license of OpenWrt:
> cat /proc/version
<<<mirror on>>>
Linux version 3.4.11-rt19+ (openwrt at sw3-pc) (gcc version 4.6.2
(Buildroot 2011.11) ) #2 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 15 15:34:14 CST 2019
I'm willing to contact Askey to warn them about this possible violation
of GPLv2. I wrote to FSF, regarding this suspicion, and they suggested
me to contact this project to ask if any of you know of any firmware
distributions from Askey's website.
Thanks.
