GPL enforces only "derived" work. Nothing else, nothing more. It's easily enough bypassable if need be. Using GPL kernel does not stop anyone from locking down their fucking products if they really want it. Nor allow you seeing what's really going on inside that part-GPL "black box". You'll get partial sources (for GPL bits) and that's all. It's as useful as book with 3/4 pages ripped off. And even these sources could be dumped on you in a form less than usable to make things even more complicated. It's following the law to the letter while cheerfully violating it in spirit.
