I'm sorry, perhaps you misunderstood my message.  By "taking things 
further" I meant informing the copyright holders.  While it is 
frustrating that we are so far unable to get hold of the source code, I 
understand that in an organisation the size of Dell it can sometimes 
take a while for things to happen, so of course I am prepared to be 
patient.  There is no point in getting the BusyBox, Kernel, etc. 
developers involved when Dell are trying their best to comply.  I 
consider that a last resort.

Have no fear, this discussion is unlikely to deteriorate into an 
argument about the GPL.  I will however keep posting updates as I hear 
news from Dell, as enough people seem to be interested in the outcome. 
Feel free to add my address into your killfile if you're not one of
them :-)

Cheers,
Adam.
