You should notify the copyright holder(s) of the GPL package that is seemingly being misused. He (she, they) is certainly in the position of asking Linksys for clarification, and possibly threatening legal action.

    yeah, that's the ticket! The owner can threaten legal action! And a threat is alll you have because any real attempt to put the GPL in front of a judge would be disterous.

    Where ya gonna get the money to hire a lawyer? What lawyer would be foolish enough to take the case? The GPL is a joke - people on this forum and on slashdot and elsewhere cannot even agree on what the license say, and it's written in plain english! One poster described it as a freshman high school philosophical diatribe. The first time this gets in front of a judge the whole house of cards that is the GPL license will come crashing down.
