Crime? Unlikely ... at most a licensing dispute. It's not as if iRex are refusing to release the sources.
It doesn't seem entirely impossible that their development process may not have been very strictly controlled, and GPL'ed sources and non-GPL'ed sources have been mixed up. If iRex have the slightest objection to release their own intellectual property in source form, the source tree will have to be cleaned up, 'private' material will have to be tagged as private, as well as new rules for software development introduced. That's not a particularly easy job.
