Yes, that may be true, but remember a while back when the FSF went
after "downstream" distributions for not distributing source code when
they distributed (unmodified) Debian binaries? It would seem that in
this case, ASUS needs to distribute the source code as well, or they
are in violation of the GPL as well.
Just my understanding...I make no claim that I'm right. :)
