Here's the deal. The whole Linksys GPL flap started because Linksys was NOT releasing their drivers for Linux. Those of us with wireless cards containing the Broadcom 4301 chipset were told to f-off and that Linksys would NEVER offer a driver for our chip. Because of this, I started "The Linux Broadcom 4301 Driver Project" (http://linux-bcom4301.sourceforge.com). It was a member of our project who exposed Linksys' use of GPL initially. Companies profiting from GPL, as Linksys clearly is, must be willing to "give back" -- that is the whole purpose of GPL.
