 interesting question.  they've released kernel source (ok, it's out
there...) the thing is: will they force you to sign an NDA to get
kernel code.  the only thing is, they don't *have* to give you damn
squat.

 about the only way to quotes trick quotes them into that situation is
to say... receive binaries (not under NDA) and *then* ask for the
source code.  if they don't supply you the binaries, they don't have
to give you jack s**t.

 once you've signed the NDA you're screwed if they decide to violate
the GPL, but if they do that then so are they.
