ooma and GPL

According to FierceVoIP:

The current ooma device has a 450 Mhz ARM processor onboard running Linux [and] a derivative version of Asterisk...

ooma has released their modifications to Linux, per the GPL: http://www.ooma.com/linux/

I wonder if ooma has purchased a commercial license for Asterisk? If not, I believe they must release the source code mods they've made to Asterisk as well.

I talked to ooma about this and they called me back the next day telling me that there is no asterisk code on the ooma hub. They said all asterisk code is on their server backbones.

The ooma hub actually Linux and FreeSWITCH, the latter of which is licensed under the Mozilla Public License.
