I assume those people already have the routers for which they
are trying to obtain the software. I don't know if the routers
now come with a GPL notice. The other question is whether the
"actiontec gateway" URL on the Verizon page causes an obligation
to Verizon under the GPL when a user downloads software through
it. Since the rights holders appear to be satisfied with the
source being made available only be Actiontec, we may conclude
that they (now) think it does not.

For the contents of the page, of course, not for the contents
of other pages to which this page links.
