Hi, I'm here to inform a license violation of the `Squid Cache`_ web proxy and `Lusca Web/Proxy Cache`_. The name of the product violating the license is `Speedr Media Cache`_. It's commercialized by `BrByte Sistemas`_ (Oliveira Alves E Amorim LTDA). Speedr violates the GPL license of Lusca, in specific, LUSCA_HEAD-r14535. Speedr is a Proxy appliance that uses a plugin system to cache sites like Youtube (it's similar to storeurl_rewrite, but without external helpers). It was somewhat difficult to make this analysis, because the Speedr is distributed inside an encrypted disk. The source code is completely missing. Lucas Rebeiro, the author of the analysis, tried to inform them of the violation, but I think they bought him. I'm not the autor of the analysis. The analysis of Speedr version 0.8.0 is here: <https://lucasribeiroc.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/analise-do-speedr-0-8-0beta/>. Lucas Ribeiro also made an analysis of the version 0.9, but it was deleted. Unfortunately, the analysis is in Portuguese. I'll translate the principal points: - Speedr has 3831 strings in common with Squid 2.7.7-4 available at FreeBSD Ports. <http://pastebin.com/Pc8wvNpx> - Speedr has 75 file names in common with Squid. <http://pastebin.com/g78HH88Z> - Also, Speedr was compiled with these flags, extracted from the binary:: '--bindir=/usr/local/sbin' '--sbindir=/usr/local/sbin' '--datadir=/usr/local/etc/squid' '--libexecdir=/usr/local/libexec/squid' '--localstatedir=/usr/local/squid' '--sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/squid' '--enable-removal-policies=lru heap' '--disable-linux-netfilter' '--disable-linux-tproxy' '--disable-epoll' '--enable-auth=basic ntlm digest' '--enable-basic-auth-helpers=DB NCSA PAM MSNT SMB YP' '--enable-digest-auth-helpers=password' '--enable-external-acl-helpers=ip_user session unix_group wbinfo_group' '--enable-ntlm-auth-helpers=SMB' '--with-pthreads' '--enable-storeio=aufs null coss' '--enable-snmp' '--enable-icmp' '--disable-wccp' '--disable-ident-lookups' '--with-large-files' '--enable-large-cache-files' '--enable-stacktraces' '--enable-err-languages=Armenian Azerbaijani Bulgarian Catalan Czech Danish Dutch English Estonian Finnish French German Greek Hebrew Hungarian Italian Japanese Korean Lithuanian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian-1251 Russian-koi8-r Serbian Simplify_Chinese Slovak Spanish Swedish Traditional_Chinese Turkish' '--enable-default-err-language=English' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--mandir=/usr/local/man' '--infodir=/usr/local/info/' '--build=amd64-portbld-freebsd7.2' 'build_alias=amd64-portbld-freebsd7.2' 'CC=cc' 'CFLAGS=-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -g' 'LDFLAGS=' 'CPPFLAGS=' - Speedr has some strings in the binary clearly from Squid, like squidaio_* functions. <http://pastebin.com/LPSSKMV1> The extracted binaries (as instructed on the original analysis) are: - Speedr 0.8: http://www.4shared.com/file/pg5jmw3n/speedr.html - Speedr 0.9: http://www.4shared.com/archive/XDRKmmVT/speedr090beta-rc194-gpl.html BrByte contact information:: BrByte Sistemas (67) 3231-4114 Rua Cáceres Nº 623 - Centro Corumbá - Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil CEP: 79304-040 .. _`Squid Cache`: http://www.squid-cache.org/ .. _`Lusca Web/Proxy Cache`: http://www.lusca.org/ .. _`Speedr Media Cache`: http://www.speedr.com.br/?locale=en .. _`BrByte Sistemas`: http://www.brbyte.net.br/ -- osmano807 Joaquim Pedro
