And before you mention Actiontec: sources were available from Actiontec prior to SFLC sued Verizon.
The complaint against Verizon is dated December 6, 2007: <http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/2007/dec/07/busybox/verizon.pdf> This article says that the Actiontec FIOS router was available in January of 2007: <http://www.fibercrap.com/article/actiontec-mi424wr-router-fios-weapon-of-choice-1150-1.html> Looking for http://opensource.actiontec.com/ on the WaybackMachine shows that as late as Aug 2007 the software available on the site contained sources for a Dual PC Modem, but not for a FIOS router: August 2007: <http://web.archive.org/web/20070822230857/http://opensource.actiontec.com/index.html> Current: <http://opensource.actiontec.com/index.html> So it doesn't look to me as if the FIOS router firmware was available before the lawsuit was filed. Do you have a URL or other evidence that shows something different?
