AFAIK it wouldn't if this meant that the only way to get hold of the sourcecode of the GPL'd applications they give away was buying an iLiad-device.
If you give away GPL'd applications the GPL asks you to provide anybody with the sourcecode.
You wouldn't have to put it online but could send it on CD on request for a reasonable amount of money that covers your expenses for the CD and postage, though.
But I really doubt that being a GPL-bending-weasel would be a good decision for iRex businesswise - their market at the moment is very small and GPL-aware.
Let's don't beat them up before they really enter our playground and we started playing togeter...
Actually they have an interesting product we've been waiting for for a long time. Of course, having been trated like idiots and lemmings by so many other companys doesn't help much...
