Robert X. Cringley has some thoughts on Sveasoft‘s replacement firmware for Linksys routers (with lots of nifty features) and how they have chosen to get cash from their user base. Their software is released under the GPL and a lot of people claimed their pricing terms were in violation of it. Cringley sets things straight and includes some interesting tidbits about how the GPL works and how open source developers can make a living.
