First Sale is nonexistent in the GNU Republic

Straight from the mouth of GNU GPL legal beagle Dan Ravicher:

"Ravicher claimed that both Actiontec and Verizon have to adhere to the
requirements of the GPL as distributors of BusyBox. "When Actiontec
distributes to Verizon, Actiontec has obligations," he said. "When
Verizon turns around and redistributes to customers, Verizon has
obligations. Even if Actiontec fulfills its obligations when it
distributes to Verizon, that does not fulfill Verizon's obligations when
it distributes to its customers."
