Asus clarifies Eee PC GPL issues, says omission was a mistake

Filed under:

We never really assumed foul play by Asus when it was discovered that the Eee’s Linux source package was missing the ACPI module, especially after Asus released it with little fanfare soon after it was first noticed — and now the company has released a statement formally calling the omission a mistake. Asus also said it’s working to publish all the Eee’s source in the appropriate forums, and that it intends to respect “the spirit of the GPL.” Which is great and all, but considering how much time Asus had to sort this out, you’d think they’d have their ducks in a row.
