lge.com — LG Electronics refuses to release the source code to their Linux based TVs.I asked for the source code at their support site and they said it was unavailable.Emails also go unanswered at opensource@lge.com (tech support said to try that email address.)Lg refuses to honor their GPL obligations.

*facepalm* hasn't the FSF already proved they aren't afraid of large companies, whom violate licenses, by going against Cisco?Microsoft would of been up to bat if they hadn't reacted after being caught with the Hyper-V driver they have for Linux.

Lawsuit timeConsidering how popular Windows is in Korea, I am surprised they even understand what the GPL means.

Just for the modified version of Linux...not the apps built on top of the OS, like the phone and other functions...JUST the OS

Please blog it somewhere, cite your efforts and submit that. Sendng us to a commercial website is spam. Buried as such, even though I am intrigued in what you are doing.
