Most, if not all, of your routers seem to use GPL licensed software such as the Linux kernel and BusyBox. I was wondering where I can get copies of the source code you use in these products? Thanks.

I was hoping there would be a place for downloading the source code for each model, but in this instance the BiPAC 8800NL.

They said they will release the source code once they have time.

Releasing the source code is a legal requirement of the GPL, a condition which must be met otherwise the developers have no legal right to release their GPL-based firmware at all. They can no more defer releasing the source code "until they have time" than we can defer paying our taxes until we have time.

@drguildo: Did you obtain the sources that you requested?
