I think they were aware of the problem. Signing a NDA for Linux code should have triggered a lot of questions. That was why I was surprised that they did not provide the OS themselves to get around these kind of problems.
And you are wrong. It is also Bookeen that is in violation. It is they that are sellling the unit.
