I'm not sure that "infected" is a good way to describe freeRADIUS code ;-) Its not my project, but I think it would be nice to give them a little more than a day to respond...

I was going to post the following on the linksys tinypeap forum. Comments? And/or we could submit a slashdot story.
==== Please don't use TinyPEAP. The authors have stolen code from the FreeRADIUS project (not the legal definition of "steal" since code isn't physical property, but theft all the same).
TinyPEAP uses TLS (and possibly other) code from FreeRADIUS. FreeRADIUS is licensed under the GPL. That means if you take FreeRADIUS code and redistribute it, you must also distribute your modifications to the code. Or if you incorporate FreeRADIUS code into your own, you've "infected" your own code and must distribute the source.
Many FreeRADIUS developers have worked hard to create the EAP functionality. Please don't step on their rights by using TinyPEAP.
The TinyPEAP developers were contacted but did not respond. Next will be legal action.
