And the original source too.
This has caused a number of problems in embedded linux systems (small
adsl/broadband routers. etc) where the manufacturers have tweaked things
and then failed ot make the tweaks available.
In one case (Broadcom), a modified linux kernel was made available, but
not the modified GCC or a couple of other critical parts required to
actually make it compilable. I don't believe this one has been fully
resolved yet.
It's worth looking at gpl-violations.org from time to time.
