You don't need to boycott them. They are clearly breaking the license agreement so the Linux Foundation can just sue them.

Wonder if FSF will care about this? Or if they can help.

They don't hold rights for the kernel, so they can't.

Linux Foundation can, as do anyone who contributed to the kernel they are using.

Do you think it would be worthwhile to try? I really would love to see the proper and complete source released for this card - it is a cute and capable device, and having to hack module.c to make use of it seems wrong.

I think you should. This is so blatant I doubt they would try to argue.

Find anyone who has a.) contributed code to the kernel (and, thus, holds copyright on it) and b.) wants to pursue a claim of copyright infringement. Any kernel contributor should have standing, AIUI.

(standard "IANAL" and "I speak only for myself" disclaimers apply)

The developers of u-boot also has that option.

GPL-violations.org helps organize enforcement efforts:

I don't think the Linux Foundation will want the FSF involved on this.

>> It is important to cut these evil companies to size by boycotting them.

Or encourage them to participate by releasing source, then we all win.
