So embedding a copy of the GPL text into a limited space ROM chip is the only way to fulfill that part of the GPL. Let's just stop everything guys, it's obvious this problem cannot be fixed.
well, it's better than charging people $0.10 more for a piece of paper with the license on it, or even more than that for another ROM chip or a bigger one.
Users of GPL software still have their right to freedom 3; users of GPL software can still contribute to their community as they wish. So what's the problem?
the problem is that they can't contribute to their community as they wish.
