I'd like to stress (again) that it is not a matter of "not wanting" or "deliberately not releasing".
Also: there is no obligation under the GPL to release a SDK. Even so, we have already released the complete SDK/toolchain. I would have thought opening up the PDF viewer and the SDK would have sparked a lot more constructive development. Its sad to see that especially those shouting loudest for the sources, have not shown any interest in actually using those available.

You didn't think iRex made their software themselves, did you?)

For the core OS, we use standard available building-blocks, which we mostly haven't modified at all (apart from applying publicly available patches). On top of that a lot of custom applications -- written from scratch -- are running. We're talking >100k lines of C code (without headers).
You can expect the sources for the kernel and the sources of modified GPL/LGPL software packages by the end of February (as also advertised on our developers website).
