Journal TheIndividual's Journal: Tag-free Sveasoft Alchemy pre7a 11
Hello everybody,
thanks to two fellow suppliers I had the chance to make a tag-free version of Alchemy pre7a. You may notice the name change, apparently Sveasoft decided that having seven release candidates durin a feature freeze is a little embarassing.
This version, as always, has been tested before release. Please read the included text files for further information, post questions or comments in this forum thread
Another thing worth mentioning: Sveasoft hasn't released any source code since last christmas (rc5a). I assume this is due to the great and truely free Alchemy fork DD-WRT. Sveasoft declared they don't want them to make a build based on their buggy pre-release code.
I wonder why they release buggy firmware in the first place if they don't want their beta code to be used...

I'm one of the maintainers of and a minority copyright holder in
Quagga [quagga.net], which appears to be included in the 6.04rc4a source [ftp.gwdg.de].
Can anyone tell me whether the images distributed by Sveasoft, allegedly in violation of the GPL, include Quagga? I tried downloading a binary image from your site, but it appears to be compressed, so I couldnt go hunting for strings - would anyone have a copy of the Sveasoft in uncompressed form (packed together as an fs would do) so I can hunt for tell tale strings?

After extensive investigation, including having spoken to someone I know reasonably well who is Sveasoft subscriber, I have concluded there is no GPL licencing problem with the Sveasoft firmware (at least in so far as Quagga is concerned).
