Software of open-e.com respects GPL?

[Dimitri Puzin]

Hi all,

recently I've ran across open-e.com. I am wondering whether their
products comply with the GPL since they seem to use a customized Debian
distribution. I couldn't find sources or statements about use of GPL'd
code in their products. I've took a glance at the provided iso. They
clearly use a linux kernel. The userspace seem to be some kind of
compressed/encrypted image on the CD.

max at nostromo:~$ sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro
open-e-nas-key-c89cc331f4.iso /mnt
max at nostromo:~$ cd /mnt
max at nostromo:/mnt$ ls
demo.oem  isolinux  relnotes.txt  update
max at nostromo:/mnt$ cd isolinux/
max at nostromo:/mnt/isolinux$ ls
boot.cat  init  isolinux.bin  isolinux.cfg  vmlinuz
max at nostromo:/mnt/isolinux$ file vmlinuz
vmlinuz: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x802,
swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA
max at nostromo:/mnt/isolinux$

I also did a portscan of the running server, with following result:

max at nostromo:~$ sudo nmap $ip -A
