[CoLoCo] GPL Issues with Xandros

I think there's a rather serious issue with the Linux distro Xandros and 
the GPL.  It is a Linux OS thus it falls under the GPL yet you cannot 
freely download a copy of it nor is there any way I've seen to obtain 
the source code.  The only way to get it is to buy it or get a 30-day 
limited free trial version.  These are clear GPL violations and I am 
wondering why they haven't been challenged over it yet?
