“A Linux kernel developer’s bid to enforce the terms of
the GPL on a Singapore-based manufacturer of tablets has come

Customs in September, stating that fusionGarage, the maker of the
JooJoo tablet, was not conforming to the terms of the GPL as it was
withholding the source code from him.“Garrett’s move was based on advice offered by former Linux

proceeding with the US Customs Service. It looks much easier and
less expensive than a court case”
