We are complying fully to the GPL. It's not mandatory to give out modifications
of code you make to everyone. Just that you give full source and distribution
rights to those that you give it to. What we tried to do with the L2TP patch was
to get the community at large to pay in a distributed way for the money we sunk
into this patch, and do so before we received the total sum of money required
to break even. Obviously, this model did not work :(

You will run into it if the clients behind the NAT router share the same internal
IP address too (eg 192.168.1.101 if both are using a default linksys WRT)
