Not that big of a deal, Linux is GPL, yet phone and router makers actively refuse to provide source code. GPL doesn't force you to make the thing free for everyone or even put the source for everyone to download, you're free to sell binaries and provide source code only upon request. It could quite possibly be legal to include way less than the full project ready to compile so people would have to piece things together to get a working build.
