drsteve- I can't speak for anyone else, but my own comments about any legal actions are purely hypothetical. As was pointed out, only the copyright holders of any GPL code that was used have any standing to initiate any kind of legal action, anyway.

My comment about the DMCA was based on the fact that the EE website has a page about the DMCA, and I find it hypocritical of them to talk about respecting copyrights when they themselves are not in compliance with the terms of the GPL. If they do not provide source code, they do not have a copyright license for the GPL components, and are themselves in breach of copyright.

At the same time, I'm not interested in an adversarial relationship with EE. I'm very happy with the device, and part of the appeal to me was the openness of the system. I would love to see an official SDK, but a bare minimum is that EE should follow through on their GPL obligations.
