Anyone want to bet that Freescale will be much quicker to defend their licensed code than they are to observe the licenses of the code they ship?

Edit:
I opened a support ticket with Freescale over the license question(s).
Will be interesting to see what (if any) response I get.
Shame on me for talking down about Freescale and license compliance . . .

Less than twelve hours elapsed between submitting the message to the "license support" desk and their replying that they have passed the information onto the (atk) development group for action.

Somebody, other than FSF and Dr. Stallman, takes the GPL license seriously.
