"Under the agreement, the FSF has agreed to dismiss its lawsuit
against Cisco.
"Cisco has agreed to appoint a Free Software Director for
Linksys, a subsidiary of Cisco, to supervise Linksys' compliance
with the requirements of free software licenses such as the GPL
(the GNU General Public License). The Free Software Director will
report periodically to the FSF regarding Linksys' compliance
efforts. Cisco has further agreed to take certain steps to notify
previous recipients of Linksys products containing FSF programs of
their rights under the GPL and other applicable licenses, to
publish a licensing notice on the Linksys website, and to provide
additional notices in a separate publication. In addition, Cisco
will continue to make the complete and corresponding source code
for versions of FSF programs used with current Linksys products
freely available on its website. Cisco will also make a monetary
contribution to the FSF."
