I'm not concerned with the OS, but with the licensing. If they're running
a stock kernel with apps on top then there's no problem. If they're running
a modified kernel or have drivers bound into it then the mods and drivers
call under the GPL and they have to release them as source.

Since it boots and runs off a single floppy I am reluctant to believe it's
just apps running on a stock kernel.
