 The "GPL source code" as provided by the various vendors of TI AR7 (with linux) devices is incomplete, since TI apparently refuses to publish the source code to some of their core kernel modifications, such as LZMA (de)compression of the zImage.  The [http://gpl-violations.org gpl-violations.org] project is actively trying to resolve this issue.
