The point of having an opensource *license* is that companies have to<br>
accept it, if they dont they are indeed pirating open source, even if<br>
that sounds a bit silly at first glance.<br>

It is most likely not something your ISP has much influence on, even<br>
if they want to cooperate with you to resolve this issue. You should<br>
contact the set top box manufacturer i guess.<br>
