Technicolor violates OpenWrt GPL License

Technicolor provides modem-router to several ISP around the world, they all have a good hardware and the firmware homeware that is based on OpenWrt and for this they have to provide their GPL Source Code.

In the Technicolor website there is an apposite section to request the GPL Source code and it can be reached at this page, and where they offer to send their Open Source Code to everyone get in touch with them writing at the address [email protected].

Everything seems so simple but unfortunatley it isn't because Technicolor doesn't always answer at GPL Source Code requests, and several people reported this in the OpenWrt Forum in this thread.

Personally I have two bad experiences with them.

In the March 2020 I wrote to Technicolor for asking the Homeware 18 GPL Source Code for a device, but after several months without answer in the May 2020 I wrote at [email protected] to report what was happening and at the end Technicolor provided me the requested GPL Source Code in the June 2020. I don't know if Tecnicolor has sent me the GPL Source Code cause I wrote at Software Freedom Conservancy or not.

In the September 2021 I wrote to Technicolor for asking the Homeware 19 GPL Source Code for another device, cause no answer in the October 2021 I wrote to [email protected] to report the situation and at the present day I still have not received neither the GPL Source Code nor any answer. I'll continue write an email to Tecnicolor every week, I have the rights to receive the GPL Source Code.

I really don't think that this is a right behavior.
