Cisco is

violating the terms of the

General

Public Licence (GPL) with one of its iPhone models, according to an open

source developer.

Cisco's

Linksys

subsidiary is contravening the open source licence in its

iPhone

WIP300 by failing to distribute the source code of some GPL components,

claimed Dutch programmer Armijn Hemel.

Hemel is a contributor to the

GPL

Violations project which aims to raise awareness of infringing uses of the

GPL.
