"After all this was done, [Dmitry] finally got a response back from
one of Transcend’s support engineers. They are “Uninterested” in
complying with GPL, and he is “free to report this to any Linux
organization” Ouch! That’s one of the most cavalier GPL violations
we’ve seen in a long time."

I only looked briefly, but I didn't see anywhere that documented what
the violation actually is.
One of the comments mentions missing u-boot source but that this has now
been corrected; and there are mentions to module sources [you /can/ do
closed source linux kernel modules in some cases iirc, so that requires
further explanation], and the kernel configuration file - but if that's
retrievable from the kernel itself that's arguably not a violation.
Are there further details somewhere?
