[BLUG] FSF lawsuit against Cicso

If you haven't already heard, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is
filing a lawsuit against Cisco for copyright violation. Apparently,
Cisco hasn't been good about following the GPL that much of its software
stack is licensed on. The Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) is
representing the FSF.
