I would not be the one bringing the folks at Bookeen to the courts over this, I am just pointing out that it is anti-social behaviour that definitely does not help their reputation. It could potential damage them badly since they will not have any protection for their own copyright as long as they do not respect others.

Speaking of the GPL, the underlying OS is supplied by the hardware manufacturer. Now, obviously, Bookeen can't release said OS source code without that manufacturer's permission. In fact, it might be best to query the manufacturer directly.
No, I don't know who that manufacturer is, or I'd put in a request for the source code and SDK myself.
