If the Cybook contains GPL software or derivative works thereof (which I believe it does, since it has a Linux kernel) then several provisions of the GPL license have been violated by Bookeen:
1) The obligation to inform the end users that the devices contains GPL licensed software
2) The obligation to make available or to offer to make available the source code.
Even though I like my Cybook a lot, I am concerned that Bookeen seems to handle copyright issues so leniently. Time is not an argument in the same way that time is never an argument when it comes to paying at the grocery or speeding.
