Can you provide a reference to how eero is violating the GPL? A quick search did not reveal anything, and they have a page on their website that suggests they meet their obligations under it.

Just for reference's sake, here's their page https://eero.com/legal/open with the money quote

    You may also request a copy of the source by e-mailing
    [email protected] with "Source for eero device" in the subject line.

Note, GPL doesn't mandate code be put up on GitHub. It only requires that its reasonably available.

I contacted them, and they failed to provide source code in a timely manner -- or you know, respond.

Doesn't make it ok.

But dang hate to see Tesla on there :(

Having a somehow famous name does not make a deplorable action magically virtuous.

OP made no moral claim, just stated unreferenced facts.

Nothing is so black and white. If you point out that others are engaging in bad behaviour, then it makes that bad behaviour look less bad.

I had the opposite reaction, that the poster was implying the HN zeitgeist should be raking these companies over the coals also.

That depends entirely on the ethics of the looker, but are you really saying that people would engage in fewer acts of bad behavior if other people didn't point them out when they did?

What do you mean with the "nothing is so black and white" cliché in this context? The psychological reaction of onlookers has nothing to do with an action being ethical or not.

Do you have Pluot? Happy to send you firmware source.

We demoed a device at work, and tried to get source. This was a little while ago.
