| Seeing as how Cisco is moving to Linux, and only becoming a HW maker,

Really?  The gossip that I've heard is that Cisco hates Linux (GPL).

Linksys (bought by Cisco) used Linux for a lot of routers but wasn't
that thrilled by GPL either.  They fought compliance a few times too.

I've not even pubicised my own (ignored) request for them to comply
with GPL on FreeS/WAN of which I am a copyright holder.
