OpenMesh released source code for GPL copyrighted parts

Sent via support portal on November 18th, 2016

Dear OpenMesh support,

I would like to kindly ask you for source code of software components you're distributing in binary form in your 6.1.1 firmware in your OM5P-ACv2 and MR1750 products which I've bought recently. I'm mainly interested in source code of U-Boot bootloader and Linux kernel parts, both are licensed to OpenMesh under GNU Public License.

Providing customers with the source code, along with any modifications, is a requirement of the GNU Public License http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.en.html (please see section 3).

BTW, there is nice vendor FAQ for GNU Public License compliance http://gpl-violations.org/faq/vendor-faq/

Thanks!

Best regards,

Petr Štetiar
