Look at the Tom Tom GO300 for an example. > On one hand BlueZ itself is GPL software, and as such can be used by > anybody as long as the GPL is respected.

Or are they just generous and don't > care ?? Tom Tom has no copyright on the BlueZ core code. Nothing has changed with this listing. As far as I know you can always refer to other listings and so Tom Tom can't control it. However the only reason that it is not listed under my name is, that the Bluetooth SIG don't allows qualifications by individual users. Only companies can qualify products. A stupid thing from my point of view. The only option that I see to get this really clean is to create a non-profit organization that takes care of such things. However I don't really have time for this paperwork, but if someone wants to go this way, I am in.
