Wasn't there a camp saying they had to release everything?

Classic
RMS presents the question to the newsgroup, a TiVO guy says "You could just ask!" 7 posts in and tells everyone where they can get the source (on CD) and for how much ($24.95) and everyone else spends the next 100+ posts bitching about the price.

That's all about price, though
Mentioned in passing was that they only have to distribute source for the stuff they modified. Is that the case? If I produced an embedded app like a TIVO and only installed completely unmodified Linux on it, and a custom app written in (for example) C++, would I have to make the source available for the unmodified OS I was using?

Applications that ride along do not need to be open source.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
