Colubris violation

[Matthew Flaschen]

If they're using any form of the Linux kernel (as the forum indicates), 
they must make available source code.  The Linux kernel is only 
available under the GPL; this means redistribution of the code, modified 
or unmodified, is only allowed with source.

If they truly aren't providing source (or a written offer for it), then 
this is indeed a violation.  I have not verified this.
