hi guys was looking through via arena, and found this file :

problem is, running
strings */BIOS_*.BIN | grep inux
gives 2 mentions of LinuxBios for each binary bios file, which makes the whole thing suspect...
should via be hit with some GPL cluestick ?
Have you asked them for the code?
no, I haven't... shouldn't it be readily available from the download page at http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx? PageID=22&DSCat=41&DCatType=3 where the files are pointed from ?
The GPL is not quite that demanding. But it comes close.
Anyway it is best to start with giving companies the benefit of the doubt. It may be they just forgot, or you did not see it.
If they actually refuse the code that is a separate issue entirely.
