    GPL'd applications would still be covered by the GPL, no?

    If I buy their product, I should be able to ask them for the source to
    all GPL'd entities that are present in the system, including the kernel,
    drivers, and all GPL'd userspace apps.

    Any *new* apps that they wrote they would of course be free to keep private.
