Thanks Ralph, I'd not problem with all that.

The bit that was interesting is that while a vendor might give away full
sources to customers, they must also give it away to potential
customers, sort of negating the need for the customers to buy the
product; and implying that what commercially is an "offer to provide a
device" under GPL is deemed to have actually provided the software and
entailed the obligations.

Anyway, I have no particular bone to pick on that, I merely find it
"interesting"

Sam
