| Feb 11, 2015 at 13:13 | comment | added | Scott Whitlock | @quickly_now - that is why the Tivoisation stuff was added in the GPLv3, so if you use GPLv2 code in an appliance, you don't really have to release it, but if you use GPLv3 code, you do. Remember that Tivo used GPL code and never released their modifications, which upset a bunch of people and in part lead to the GPLv3. | |

| Jun 22, 2013 at 1:11 | comment | added | quickly_now | Yes the is distribution. That's why you find things like ADSL routers where the source code is (has to be) available for download. Reputable suppliers make the source available because the license conditions require it of them. Same applies to NAS boxes, IP cameras and numerous other gadgets. | |
