I don't know the details of the situation. I just want to remind you
that the GPL is a distribution licence. That's why we don't get all
Google's changes to the Linux kernel and Apache back upstream. It seems
that I've seen people say that Nokia doesn't even distribute the initfs
tools. If that's the case, there wouldn't be any GPL violation.

Cheers,
Dave.
