I'd like to know how you achieved that result. Netcomm, an Australian manufacturer of modems, use Linux in a number of their ADSL products, for example their NB5 range but I suppose, also, all of their modern products. They provide no acknowledgement on the box, nor in the documentation, nor on their web. I've exchanged emails with David Stewart <davids@netcomm.com.au>, their Managing Director, in which I explained the legal requirements, and also pointed out some high profile companies that had been sued over their violations. He certainly understood the situation and promised to have the box and documentation modified appropriately, but that was a year ago and nothing has been done. What can be done?
