Me:
Hi I wish to clarify that i am looking for the GPL source code, not the precompiled firmware for the router. As per GPL licensing requirement, router manufacturer is obliged to provide source code for all derivative works of the software distributed under GPL licensing terms, for example Broadcom sources.
You provide a software product, "FG7008GR(ac) firmware release" (hereafter - "the Product"), available via publicly accessible World-Wide Web URL
https://www.aztech.com/aztech-support/produ...com/fg7008gr-ac , licensed under the terms of GNU General Public License.
Under the GPL, you are obliged to release the source of the binary or binaries you distribute.
As I understand from your provided link, you are distributing a binary built from your source, but not making the source of the binary available. That is a GPL violation. Hence I request for the source code of your firmware and all binaries included under the same license.
I obtained the Product in a legal way by the URL provided above, and found that it contains some binary-only components (see listing below). By the right given to me by GNU General Public License, version 3, I would like to request You to provide complete source code for the Product. Please kindly choose the same sources delivery method as you did for the Product - namely, providing them for download via publicly accessible URL. This will ensure your continued compliance with the license.
Thanks
Max
