@HarryT: I didn't hear of any tries to enforce the GPL in China, but that does not mean it can't be done. I didn't know of that convention which should make the GPL even more likely to be enforceable there.
@seaniko7: In my understanding of the GPL, if they were not granted access to the sources, they knowingly violated the GPL by selling these devices. Anyway, fear of competition may be a problem, but bad separation shouldn't. Works based on the program have to be released under the GPL. Did I understand you correctly?
