| BT proves itself open to correction |
|---|
Free software doesn't come without a price, as BT recently discovered. To its mild embarrassment, the British telco forgot to read part two of the GPL. Part one says "Take this software and do what you like with it" — and BT liked to create its Home Hub wireless networking device on the back of a Linux distribution designed to help build exactly that. Part two, however, says "as long as you give away the resulting software to anyone who wants it, under the same conditions". BT omitted that bit, and got nabbed. But swift action to put the source code online, and honour was satisfied.
