Did they actually call it a "restriction" in a way that is prohibited in the GPL? Also, there is probably room for a public, if not legal, complaint about gpl compliance if the source and binary components they distribute don't match in a way that you can rebuild a binary that works the same. Of course there is a lot of non-gpl content, so even strictly observing the GPL rules won't solve the whole problem. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
