Ah. You must be one of those people reselling Mepis without permission - who used his trademarks and NON-GPLed code and started the whole disinformation campaign after they were busted.

He believed that he only had to provide source to things he modified, so long as the original source was available elsewhere. This is NOT an unreasonable belief.

He IS going to be compliant to the degree that the FSF wants - but so sorry - you still won't be able to resell his non-GPLed code or use his trademarks without permission.
