Neither do I, I find it quite informative that after almost 30 years of 
the gpl's existence, that seagate is still violating it, obviously 
intentionally. And its quite likely to be ignored until a suit has been 
filed that requires their legal people to actually read that document to 
see what the hell all the hulabaloo is all about. Without any known 
exceptions that I am aware of, they will rectify that, before the courts 
set the deck very low to mow their legal grass. The FSF may need our 
financial support in that event.  Seagate has deep pockets.
