Tompe, if I'm correct the drivers that bookeen have as proprietary are compiled as module, not embedded inside the kernel.
Sorry for the delay in answering, was busy...

My information comes from the "Developer's corner" forum. Last status was that dottedmag reported:

"As it turned out, Bookeen "forgot" to add eink driver source code (and several other files) to zip file. As this code is compiled into the kernel, not as module, this is a serious violation."

and

"There are lots of changes in kernel beside removed files, and provided source can't be compiled. Jekhor and me are working on finding out what exactly has been omitted (Bookeen did not provide pointers for the toolchain (another problem!), and this makes situation harder)."

It's been a while but I haven't heard anything since so I suppose the situation is still the same...
