You can ask for the kernel source as soon as you have the rifle. Doesn't seem too cheap

You should be able to get all the source code to the gpl stuff they used - as soon as you get a copy of the binaries.
But their proprietary applications on top probably don't qualify as a derived work. But I'm not a lawyer.

Key point (AFAIK, YMMV, IANAL, etc..) is that running an app (which could be a complex real-time system) on Linux using standard system calls is not the same as modifying Linux. If you modify GPL code (whether it be kernel, drivers or utilities etc..) then you do need to make source available when you distribute.Last edited by bridgman; 10 January 2013, 05:22 PM.

whut what?
how does that work?
I thouht you could charge all you want for your linux project as long you make the source code available
so I can just grab linux and make a proprietary OS and charge for it and that's that

It's not an open-source project. It's a commercial product using Linux, so you can't have access to their source-code.
