They _have_ to release their code free if they are selling their
program... AFAiK, there is no problem if they sell GPL program
but they have to allow access to source free.
IMHO, if they don't, Free Software Foundation should sue them for
breaking the license - heck, using the stupid Millinium Copyright
Act!!! :-0 That would be nice for a change.
BUT, on their site it says:
"
Lindows.com Licensing Information
Lindows.com respects all applicable licensing and is proud to be
a strong supporter of the Open Source community by helping to
advance several Open Source initiatives. Coming soon to this page
will be information, links and resources for obtaining source
code and licensing information for any applicable software. "
