Another Netfilter GPL enforcement
I have worked in a company that supplied software to the taiwanesse companies that developed the hardware for various resellers.
The way I saw it, Linksys et al are only OEMs for hardware developed by ODMs from taiwan, Linksys will mostly supply the requirements and final acceptance testing, hardly any (if at all) development is done in-house.
The general thought-line regarding GPL was: "If we are not forced, we'll do nothing to release back source code of GPL parts". There was though a clear attempt to make as little code be forced into openness.
