I'm not quite sure what is going on there. I've followed it somewhat with interest of a potential HP response to the apparent resale of Voyager firmware but I'd assume from the above they haven't taken issue with it as of yet.

The other interesting comment I'd seen was an initial claim the emulator in use was nonpareil based. Seemed likely by association as the rom image appears to be the cosmetically modified version bundled with a former nonpareil version.

But when the subject of source availability per compliance with GPL licensing arose, it wasn't nonpareil based anymore:
