+GNU GPL - Copyright helps Copyleft
+The Linksys case
+
+
+During 2003 the "Linksys" case drew a lot of attention
+Linksys was selling 802.11 WLAN Acces Ponts / Routers
+Lots of GPL licensed software embedded in the device (included Linux, uClibc, busybox, iptables, ...)
+FSF led alliance took the usual "quiet" approach
+Linksys bought itself a lot of time
+Some source code was released two months later
+About four months later, full GPL compliance was achieved
