Source Code
Most, if not all, of your routers seem to use GPL licensed software such as the Linux kernel and BusyBox. I was wondering where I can get copies of the source code you use in these products? Thanks.

Re: Source Code
I was hoping there would be a place for downloading the source code for each model, but in this instance the BiPAC 8800NL.billion_fan wrote:What model were you looking for??drguildo wrote:Most, if not all, of your routers seem to use GPL licensed software such as the Linux kernel and BusyBox.

Re: Source Code
Releasing the source code is a legal requirement of the GPL, a condition which must be met otherwise the developers have no legal right to release their GPL-based firmware at all. They can no more defer releasing the source code "until they have time" than we can defer paying our taxes until we have time.
@drguildo: Did you obtain the sources that you requested?
