Исправление monk, (текущая версия) :
В случае передачи девайса продавец по идее перестаёт подпадать под GPL, а покупатель наоборот подпадает и вправе требовать исходники от производителя.
А на https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2014/SFLC-Guide_to_GPL_Compliance_2... написано обратное:
The license terms apply to anyone who distributes GPL’d software, regardless of whether they are the original distributor. Take the example of Vendor V, who develops a software platform from GPL’d sources for use in embedded devices. Manufacturer M contracts with V to install the software as firmware in M’s device. V provides the software to M, along with a compliant offer for source. In this situation, M cannot simply pass V’s offer for source along to its customers. M also distributes the GPL’d software commercially, so M too must comply with the GPL and provide source (or M’s own offer for source) to M’s customers.
