I have no knowledge or opinions about the specifics of this case, but I wanted to point out that a great many more things distributed by Cisco contain GPLed code than just the linksys soho stuff. There are things like linecards for the 7600 (i.e. CSM) and other fairly high end produts with firmware which is Linux kernel based, and presumably uses the associated userspace bits.

Also Cisco produce some Linux-based video players based on (among other things) Sigma Designs chips, with insufficient GPL and LGPL compliance for those.
