I have seen a few instances which are "risky" IMHO... or at least
interesting to ponder.. one is a claim that GPLv3 enables the vendor to
"require" the use of their trademark logo (flowplayer)... which opens up
other legal issues i think, and another, i recently purchased a router, in
the package was a small piece of paper stating the device includes GPL
software, and if i want the source i need to write (snail mail) their legal
department and explain why i want it. (d-link).

but i agree the issues have not been legally decided AFAIK. anyway, i think
a BSD licensed FreeBSD operating system works  for me.
