[Fedora-legal-list] Licensing Violation by iControlOne and ADT
have the ADT Pulse security system (www.adt.com), which uses an iControlOne hub that is
managed with software that is written and copyrighted by "iControlOne". The
software itself says to go to "[http://www.icontrolone.com/]" to see open source
license information.
When I go there and then click the link for the "Open Source Attributions" page,
that brings up a list of software, licences, and whether or not they have modified the
code.
One of the entries in the list is:
./external/elfutils http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:OSL1.1
Furthermore, the site says "Modified versions of open source software available upon
request.", but they have ABSOLUTELY NO contact information nor any method listed to
contact them.
With no way to actually make the request, their statement about "being available upon
request" is nothing short of a fraudulent misstatement.
As such, this company is clearly violating the terms of the fedora license, as they
provide no method for actually requesting such a copy of the software--and there is no
visible way to even find any contact for the actual company itself.
Sincerely,
