A GPL licensing expert has accused Cisco of violating Open Source license by failing to publish source code developed for its WIP300 iPhone.

The VoIP handset runs a version of Linux developed by Cisco-subsidiary Linksys from code publicly available under the GPL open source licence. Under the terms of that licence, Linksys is obliged to release the altered code back to the open source community.
