I've seen this reasoning before. According to GPL V2 ยง3, you need to either ship the source code with the binary code, or you need to accompany the binary code with a written statement where or how to get the corresponding source code. It seems as if people who bought the box version of SUSE Linux 10.1 couldn't find any written information in the box where to get the source for the packages that make up SUSE Linux 10.1. Therefore, they argue that SUSE Linux 10.1 might violate the GPL. I have no box version of 10.1 - I am not using 10.1 at all -, so I don't know whether these people are right or wrong. I just try to clarify the background of these allegations.
