The GPL says that if YOU request the code, they have to provide it "for a
minimal fee" (not the exact term, but i sure you all have the right term
in mind).
Those modules you mention, are they the ported code from some other
architecture ? (i'm thinking more along the lines some mips code already
available in the regular linux kernel tree that "just work") ?
If not, then they should provide the source to whoever wants/requests it.
(it is the 3rd of the 3 clauses for source distribution if i remember
clearly) If they don't, THEN, they are violating the GPL...

Anyway, just some babling you probably heard before...
