I think they have craftily tried to skirt the gpl issue. From the installation and their claims it appears that they may have not modified individual packages so their claim that they are intact as the source. Their major goof up IMHO is in ripping apart the FC4 package, taking only the kernel and fusing non-compatible rpm packages into a Bhel Puri Linux distribution that turned out to be a buggy disaster.
For example, FC4 does not ship with Firefox 1.5. It comes with the older version. When I had tried to install 1.5 manually, it had given some compilation errors. Even the FC4 rpm repos did not contain Firefox 1.5 then. However it was crammed into the Bhel Puri Linux 2006 distro and I had mouse trouble while trying to configure it.

Do they even know that the Fedora kernel is really a vanilla kernel with over 200 patches applied to it?
