“For the record, I contacted Netgear on this issue on Oct 8th,
they responded to me via email 26 hours later with a pointer to a

respond to my inquiry directly, though I tried (never a good sign
and usually makes me wonder why they’re afraid to talk to
press?).“PR gripes aside, this is what Netgear has now publicly posted
on the issue of its alleged GPL violation.“”Concern has been raised on the presence of binary modules in
the pre-loaded NETGEAR firmware,” Netgear’s Som Pal Choudhury wrote
in an open letter.”
