Oh sorry, my mistake. I try to correct it somehow (will be bit difficult as non native english speaker/writer):
As I write, I nitice that it's really difficult to explain...
OK as an example only: Pocketbook. They make a really nice device, using lots of GPL code, which I also like. But it took several month to have them release the code, which is a violation of the GPL, because they had to do this without any request, but from the very beginning. And I just don't found any company, which did it the right way from the start (exeption: OpenMoko).
Other companies are out of question for other reasons (Kindle, Sony..), some because of the hardware specification (TFT Screen etc.)
So I was a bit unspecific.
And to me it's somehow "unpolite" to take GPL code release that and make the divice useable only with proprietary code. It's perfectly legal, of course, but not very gentle..
Most of the things are perfectly subjective, I know.
I appologize, if this makes it more unclear, but I didn't get it better..
