I do have a question regarding IBM's use of Linux in several of it's
products for example the Hardware Management Console  (HMC) and the SAN
Vitalization Controller (SVC). 

I understand that IBM's use of Linux requires IBM to provide the source
for the Kernel and other GPL licensed software to the  licensee of the
product e.g whom ever buys a HMC should receive the source code for GPL
products. Having worked with these products I don't recall seeing source
code provided.

Are you aware IBM's compliance with regards to the GPL for above
mentioned products?
