For some reason, I don't think that they include source for their Booter.
I know that they distribute complete microkernel source, and of course
they _must_ distribute source for the Linux kernel...

Fortunately, the microkernel sources are not under GPL :-)

Well, maybe in a few years when my kernel hacking abilities improve a
little, I'll have time to clean room it ;-)  Ah, what duplication of
effort...I was just reading about the latest updates to MacLinux (the
mac68k Linux project) and it's a shame to see people struggling so hard
with stuff we've had for several years now...but that's licensing for you.

Later.
