Three reasons:
- legal reason: the Linux kernel is licensed under the GPLv2, so you have to provide integral source code;
- ethical reason: you should contribute back to the community that gave you the code in the first place;
- technical reason: you simply can't compile a working kernel for the device without them.
Hope someone at Onyx understands this before I go through all the reverse engineering work or the FSF gets involved.
