true. this is a probably a valid point.

AFAIK GPL does not say "you have to give sources away
to everyone", just to offer the sources to people to
whom you provide binaries.

If those in posession of binaries (in the form of the embedded
linux device) do not want to give the product or the
binaries away, you are not entitled to sources, just they
are and it is their decision if they want them or not.

And it is very possible that there was a leaflet in the
original product packaging (pump station manager) stating
"This product contains GPL binaries. Sources available
at this repository/email address" - so they may be in
compliance already.
