True, I think it's important to differentiate here between the OS sources and the development tools. While the code contained within might be released under the GPL (original code and modifications), iRex is under no obligation to release the underlying details of the iLiad. However, they need to supply you with enough information to enable you to recompile the sources yourself. And these information (header files, libraries) should be sufficient for every hacker to work out how to code and build his own iLiad tools.
