Perhaps they then became aware of the relationship between Actiontec
and Verizon and realized that it was OK for Verizon to distribute
routers without complying with the GPL. Not having one myself, I do
not know whether the routers now ship with GPL notification. Someone
who has recently obtained one could say. The manufacturer now makes
the GPLed sources available on its web site.
