Have you (or anyone else here) asked for the GPL distributed source changes
as required by their use of GPLv2 source (at least the Linux kernel) ?

(I realise that their architecture is "ios runs as a process" but I'd
be very, very surprised if they were 100% GPL clean.)

(Same deal with the ASA, btw.)

And yes, I've tried on multiple occasions to get the GPLed source
modifications as mentioned in some older web cache appliance documentation
of theirs - I never got a response.

2c,
