One way to potentially determine if your device has freely licensed code 
in it is to check if the device or its packaging (including any manual 
it might have) contains source code or an offer for source code.  Most 
of the source candidates on Use The Source are the result of exercising 
an offer for source code.

We encourage you to exercise any offers for source code you might find 
(that is, by sending mail to request the source, or similar), and 
contribute the resulting source candidate to Use The Source with this form:
