Members of the Linux community have complained that the hot new sub-notebook from Asus, the eeePC, may have violated the spirit of the Linux General Public License. Some Linux advocates claim the eeePC has not included required source code with the installed Xandros Linux distribution and does not easily enable users to install another distro. However, there are indications that eeePC fans probably don't care.

Not provided, or the person emailing unwilling to tell us what was in the email reply or simply because the company didn't email back a reply within 5 minutes, they're obviously rebuffing him.
Dear god, not all of us sit running shotgun on the email send/receive button, and reply within 5 minutes. If there is a reason for not instantly providing the source, it would have been within the email. Too bad there is more focus on the one solitary whiner than what was actually in the email that came form ASUS in regards to the source code request.
As for the person who requested it, anyone find it rather confusing that he is silent in the whole matter? why doesn't he have the backbone to step forward and tell us the WHOLE story.
Edit: Interesting, someone has provided a link to the source code - and the forum seems to go quiet - isn't it annoying when sensationalism is destroyed in one act of fact providing?
