We do not design 'GPL' hardware, nor did we use any of David Rowe's work in designing our hardware. The appliance uses our existing 1- and 4-port analog modules, has an onboard Ethernet VLAN switch, onboard hardware echo cancellation, and will actually be a shipping, tested, EMI certified product :-)

If others want to produce a comparable piece of hardware (although I fail to see how the GPL applies to a piece of hardware) and make its design available for free they are certainly welcome to do so.
