I just came across this post from a while back, looks like they ignored a request for the cgminer source code for a while but eventually got the message. Bitmain needs to understand that the firmware development environment source code must be released for the same reason they had to release cgminer source code. In order to be compliant with the GPL license the development environment must produce the firmware files that Bitmain provides for download from their source code.

Dear Community,

Our truly apologies for the mis-understanding reported in this Support Thread. We are very willing to share the cgminer code to the Community.
Just reviewed our internal resource again, there is a little mis-communicaton between Customer Service Team and R&D Department. We thought this task was done 3 weeks ago..
However, R&D Department is repacking the cgminer code and will upload it to GitHub.com in 3 hours.

Any advice from the Community and Global Customers is appreciated, feel free to contact us via PM or info@bitmaintech.com.

Thank you!

My gut says that Bitmain pretty much is and will continue to take the position "oh yea? make me".

I think the reality of any legal recourse in compliance is next to none... considering their geographic location.

Just my two satoshis.
