We seem to be saying the same thing:

"Fortinet has agreed to provide the source code of the Linux kernel
and other GPL-licensed components to any interested party. The code
is available upon request, for the cost of distribution, from the
Fortinet Web site. The company has also agreed to modify its
licensing agreement to include the GPL licensing terms with all
Fortinet shipments. The settlement agreement also states that no
Fortinet partners are subject to legal action."

My note was in response Ole's thoughts on Dave's ability to put
LiS back on his website if he should choose, even if he hadn't
previously included a copy of the GPL Licence.  Nothing to do
with Ontario.  Anything to do with Ontario has been hashed out
earlier in the thread.
