i've forwarded this to rms so that he can take care of glibc GPL violation, cc'd to gpl@busybox.net and also raised a bugreport https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue2347 for ffmpeg.
also i'm cc'ing lkml - if anyone would like to investigate the firmware (see http://lists.gpl-violations.org/pipermail/legal/2010-November/002446.html ) and be a copyright holder for the purposes of a GPL violations lawsuit / cease and desist order please feel free to contact the software freedom law centre who will take up the case at zero financial charge, on your behalf.
there is a particular reason for going after this particular tablet vendor / CPU manufacturer : it's an extremely good low-cost 1ghz ARM CPU (the ZT-180) with very good MPEG decode capabilities.
l.
p.s. if anyone on linux-kernel would also like to participate in a GPL violations lawsuit / cease and desist order against telechips, for their supply of BSPs (board support packages) with GPL linux kernel source whilst forcing recipients to sign an NDA, please contact me and i will provide links.
