Hello, I found Ahnlab Online Security is using libnfnetlink and
libnetfilter_conntrack and I think they are violating GPL license.

They are distributing that application on this page (Hana bank online
banking site. They are only providing korean version of that page.)

https://open.hanabank.com/common/installSecurityModule.jsp#//HanaBank

In this page, there are not mentioning about they are using
libnfnetlink and libnetfilter_conntrack

However, in debian package file, libnflink.so.0.2.0 and
libnetfilter_conntrack.so.3.1.3 exists in
/opt/Ahnlab/ASP/Firewall/lib/Netfilter/

and there are copyright notice in
/usr/share/doc/ahnlab-online-security-firewall/copyright but they are
not mentioning about they are using netfilter library and GPL notice.
(And it is proprietary licensed software)

So I think they are violating GPL.

Additionally, here is contact information of AhnLab Inc.

hi

i think there is 1,000,000s of examples of various opensource license
violations that is NOT being pursued.  If the licenses and intellectual
property are not enforced, the opensource sw or pieces of it will
or already has become the equivalent of kleenex, coke, xerox, cadallic
etc etc all of which was at one time proprietory trademark'd products

it's a sad thing to see, large commercial entities with multi-billion
dollar r/d budgets not be willing to show credit where its due and owed
per the opensource licenses

pixie dust
