You didn't refer to this specific case in your last post. You made a general claim, putting me in the light of a software pirate, which I don't appreciate.

The MobiPocket Reader (which is contained in the firmware) is copyrighted software

So you acknowledge that the firmware contains copyright-protected code (not proven in court), but you ignore all evidence that it also contains GPL code?

I believe that the original poster said that he had been contacted by Bookeen about having a copy of the firmware on his web site, and had removed it as a result. Clearly they are concerned about it.

You are inferring from an event in the past. When Bookeen contacted them, they asked to removed the firmware. That was before there was even talk about the firmware being copied onto another device.

That's my point, dottedmag. Nobody appears to have complained, so can we take this as an indication that nobody actually cares about it?

Nobody from Bookeen or Mobipocket (assuming you are not affiliated with them) has complained. Following your reasoning, we can assume that they don't care.
