Who's "They"? If it's Dell, then Red Hat has not been a part of any GPL
or LGPL violation. It's the *distributor* that is responsible for
releasing the source, and in this case, Red Hat is not distributing the
binaries - Dell is, and it's therefore Dell's responsbility to provide
source. If Red Hat distributed the binaries (how did they distribute
it? Are the binaries on their public servers?) then Red Hat should
provide the sources.
I fail to see why you're trying to beat on Red Hat. Why not beat up the
rest of the developers that included packages on Dell's distro? Red Hat
is responsible for making source availalble to Dell, but that's it.
