Question 1 is: If I they really lock down the iLiad so nobody but them got root, fixed all local exploits and maybe install some kind of additional security layer to prevent their cusomers from using the device they bought in the ways they want to, and THEN release the GPL-sources, so we would have access to the sources, could build the system but had no way to install anything - would they be in compliance with the GPL?
Question 2 is: How big is the niche-market for ebook companies that say "We don't care about our customers wishes" ?
