They have pretty bad lawyers if they do this:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#DoesTheGPLAllowNDA http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#DoesTheGPLAllowN...
I have a feeling that they have copyrighted source from other vendors in the kernel which prevents them from redistributing the source. I believe this was the problem/downfall of Entourage Edge.
