It's been proven time and time again with this company. Until Onyx provides actual source code they are in violation. The burden of proof shifted to them once people could not locate the source code and they have yet to prove that they are not in violation. Here's one response from the company where they deflect on this issue: https://i.redd.it/0lx58maqrbb51.png https://i.redd.it/0lx58maqrbb51.png The link you were shared above on Wikipedia also has another response, where they decline to provide source: http://bbs.onyx-international.com/t/install-linux-or-alternate-os-and-gpl2-kernel-source/698 http://bbs.onyx-international.com/t/install-linux-or-alterna...

Is that the same as Onyx, the company that actually ships the products worldwide? My suggestion to you guys is: So if we want to see Onyx punished, then we need to find someone who owns an Onyx that has asked Onyx to comply with the GPL and provide source, and showing that they refused to do so. At that point, they would immediately be non-compliant and thus susceptible to many injunctions, meaning their products could be stopped at the border. Pretty sure they'd pay attention to that. It needs to be a clear formal request with proof of ownership and failure of the supplier to provide source for the GPL to be applicable.
