Networking  company Ubiquiti Networks violates the GPL, but not in the
way you'd expect (http://libertybsd.net/ubiquiti/).
Not only did the kernel shipped in their router firmware not correspond to the sources given,
but their failure to provide the source led to a vulnerability they created being unpatched
long after its disclosure. They're maintaining the appearance of compliance without actually
 complying with the GPL.
