I am confused as to how Chad is violating the GPL.
When Chad shares his kernel, he does in fact share source with the same people who get the binary.

Does Chad not only publish the binary & source to people who agreed not to distribute it? That in itself is a violation of the GPL, to quote GPLv2 point 6:

" You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein"

The fact is that the binaries are making it out, and the source isn't, and people seem to be refusing to share the source. I somehow feel we've already been through this last time it came up, and it firmly decided that Chad appeared to be contravening the GPL. I'm not sure there's any benefit in going around the same loop again, unless Chad has made changes in what he is doing that require a re-evaluation.
