"Specifically, the complaint alleges that Cisco has shipped
hardware products with such programs as GCC and Binutils without
making their source code available to customers, as required by the
GNU General Public License -- a claim that, if true, makes Cisco's
membership in the Linux Foundation seem hypocritical.
"As is often the course of action for defendants in legal cases,
Cisco has only given a formal reply to the suit in public. In a
response posted on the blog of Joe Brockmeier, the openSUSE
community manager, Cisco stated that it "is a strong supporter of
open source software" and believes it is "substantially in
compliance" with the issues raised in the suit."
