The GPL obliges anyone who distributes binaries of a GPL'd program to supply (or offer to supply) the sources of those binaries, but they're only obliged to do so to those same people who they have shipped binaries to. So if you don't have a fully licensed VxWorks development setup, they won't have sent you their toolchain, and won't be under any obligation to give you binaries; i.e. they are only obliged to give sources to the customers who have bought their binaries. If you haven't been given a binary version of the toolchain by them, they aren't obliged to you in any way. And like Steven said, if you want to discuss it in greater depth, approach the FSF directly, or discuss it on the lists at http://gpl-violations.org/ cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
