2005-Apr-30: Medion notebooks sold at ALDI violate GNU GPL
The most recent notebook models sold at ALDI discounters in Germany and abroad,
the Medion MD95500, were shipping in violation of the GNU General Public
License.
The notebooks come pre-installed with the "Cyberlink PowerCinema Linux"
software, a custom-tailored mini Linux-Distrubution bundled together with a
proprietary media player application from Cyberlink Corp.
However, the product ships without any reference to the GNU GPL, does not
include the full corresponding source code and no written offer where the
source code can be obtained.
