The Linux community has been buzzing about LindowsOS since its original announcement over a year ago. With Michael Robertson, founder of mp3.com, at the helm, it was heralded as a Linux that could seamlessly run all of your Windows applications. As details became available, the skepticism of the community grew and with the LindowsOS general release only months away, no one is quite sure what to make of Lindows.com and their product, LindowsOS. We tested Lindows 2.0 and we today present the most in-depth review ever written for this much-talked OS, accompanied by a number of shots.

Once you pay for the software and become an Insider, you have access to the source code of all GPL'ed software. Items like Click-N-Run, developed outside the GPL, are notably absent, but this is NOT a violation of the license. Only software that includes GPL'ed code must be revealed.
As I understand it, there is a EULA (by any other name) which prohibits you, an Insider, from redistributing the GPL'd software.
That would be a violation of the GPL.
Can you confirm if there is any license agreement, and what it says about your rights to redistribute (not just access) GPL code?
