Cisco agrees to sort out its iPhone

Last week, the GPL Violations Project threatened to sue Cisco if it did not comply with provisions of the GNU General Public License if Cisco and share code on the Linux based iPhone.

Writing in his bog, John Earnhardt, senior manager of global media operations for Cisco said that he has thoroughly investigated the questions raised by the open sauce community.

Earnhardt said that Cisco has found that there is one area where Cisco is not compliant with the GPL and the outfit will be doing all it can to get it sorted.

Cisco, which is currently planning to take Apple to the cleaners over the use of its trademark on the iPhone name, does not think that there are any other licensing problems with the iPhone. µ
