Request for Kernel Source 2.6.16.62-111

tmbm50
Does anybody know who I email at astaro for the kernel source for 2.6.16.62-111-default?

The current ftp://ftp.astaro.com/pub/GPL_source_code/ is out of date.

As per the GPL this needs to be available.

Thank you,

    I ran across the following article: Does GPL still matter? | Developer World - InfoWorld

    For those who support Astaro's continued use and support of GPL, it appears that a confrontational approach could well stimulate Astaro to chose another license provider.

    Cheers - Bob

    Oh boy, you dug out the old can of worms[;)] I am by no means any kind of licensing expert but don't believe for a second that businesses are not protecting their IP rights. The code that astaro can protect is already protected. Linux is released under GPL, you can't just recompile it and say now its proprietary. Same goes for other GPL products that are integral part of astaro. I think astaro has had a pretty good history of providing source code for their stable releases. Lets just leave it at that[:)]

    In case you didn't know, if you use GPL'ed sources, modify them and redistribute them (in binary form), you have to make the sources available also.

    Not doing so invites legal action, and no, I'm not joking, most router manufacturers who didn't already got sued at least once.
