If the vendor was the first to put that instance of the device on the market in the US, I could see that being the case If the vendor was reselling a device which had already been on the market (e.g. selling a secondhand device, even if still in the original wrapping) — which was how I read the original post, but I may be wrong — I would not have thought that copyright law, and the terms of the GPL, was of relevance.
