I must be missing something with the GPL...
Nowhere does it say you need to advertise the open source
product in your sales literature.
All (from what I gather) is necessary, is to make available
the source or instructions to retrieve the source to the end
user.
This could be on a CD or a sentence in a provided manual.
No reference is given to the percent of open source to proprietary
software which must be disclosed.
Also, if I am not mistaken, if you sell a system with linux on it,
don't you have to do the same for the OS? Lots of GPL stuff
there.
I am not defending sysmaster or anyone else, but I haven't
seen (in this discussion) where anybody had reviewed
the entire end user product package (outside of a hard drive).
My 2cents
Regards
Greg
