If a 'Zealot' has an Empeg then they would also know where to get all the code themselves and so not need to hassle Empeg Ltd for the code, since their GPL'd changes are all available on their website.
'Zealots' seem to be just people who want to make a point for the sake of making it with nothing constructive by anyone resulting.
A fair number of the open source movement don't like the way that people are forcing this issue. The GPL is there to give you the OPTION of having the source if you wanted it.
Plus - if you wanted to force the issue you would need to prove that you were using a copy of the developer image first to get them to give you the code for the various tools. Any decent developer doesn't trust pre-compiled tools so they would have re-compiled all the standard tools provided by Empeg from the code available on the 'net anyway :-) Which just leaves the player which is not GPL'd.
The fact that Empeg Ltd has made available a lot more info to us that they needed to, should be enough of an assurance to you that they are decent people and not trying to rip off the people who put the effort into making the tools protected by the GPL.
