In fact, I think that's a key difference between the GPL and the BSD
license.

Actually, the GPL does require credit to be given, at 
least in the sense that the source code is modified and 
not necessarily in the advertisement as I understand it.

Please take a look at the Developers archive as there is 
an ongoing discussion about another distro that is for 
Windows that is also dealing with the GPL issue. I am not 
completely sure that this falls under the exact same 
category, but I believe it is really close. Just in this 
case it would probably deal more with AMP than Asterisk 
directly.

But not having this sellers code, I connot confirm nor 
deny that this is the case.

Can anyone chime in on whether or not this seller must 
provide the source code for what he is selling??

That and the default GPL allows future versions to apply, and some
people may object to the *proposed* gpl 3 which states that certain
corporations are required to pay money if they use gpl code.  While you
can opt out of future versions with GPL that is normally not the default
way people do it. 

I just wonder who gets paid if the *proposed* gpl 3 happens.  My bet is
the FSF and not the author of the code or any of the copyright holders.
But that is just a guess.  After all it was stallman who sold tapes of
emacs for $150 because he didnt have a job, it was stallman who formed
the FSF to solicit money becuase people got internet access and stopped
paying $150 for a tape with emacs on it.  My guess is that this is just
another revenue machine disguised as helping others.
