If Brainjar had licensed this code AGPL then Comcast would have to release their code. But since it's GPL 2 then they have no legal right to require Comcast or anybody else to stop using their code. That's one of the great things about GPL (or horrible things, depending on your intention)

Read up on your licenses folks, make sure your code is used the way you intend.




This code is served to the client; the AGPL would not provide any benefit here.
