Yes, I heard back from FSF and they agree that Bookeen must detail what they know about the version of Linux the Cybook uses as well as list the GPL notification. But they stressed that the hardware manufacturer should give up the source code.

Could you quote that question and answer? What do you mean by should? From my perspective Bookeen is responsible for solving the problem. They cannot just tell me to ask the hardware manufacturer that will refuse.

Is it really against the GPL to sell a thing under condition that people sign a NDA for source code and then give the source code to them?
