Yes? The archive shows that a version of this page was present once in 2006 and throughout 2007, but not later. When present, it contained code for the CT-536+/CT-5621 product. The current web page contains source code for products CT-5621/CT-5621T, CT-5361/CT-5361T, NexusLink5631, and NexusLink5631E. The complaint mentions <http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2009/busybox-complaint-2009-12-14.pdf>



Comtrend's CT-5621 and NexusLink 5631/5631E ADSL2+ bonded modems;

So as usual, your posts are self-refuting. What appears to have happened is that Comtrend at some point stopped complying with the GPL out of laziness or inattention, the SFLC failed to gain their notice with attempts at communication, the lawsuit alerted Comtrend to the problem, they came back into compliance, and they were dropped
 from the suit.

What appears to have happened is that the SFLC filed a mindless
copyright infringement claim concerning “BusyBox, v.0.60.3.” that
they can't possibly win so they are attempting to cut their losses as
quickly as possible. Further prosecution of the suit would quickly run
up substantial attorney fees assessed against the SFLC.

Sincerely,
RJack :)
