What is this persistent rumour about proprietary licenses?  The Mitel
and E-smith sites both make it quite clear that the Developer release is
GPL and that any proprietary stuff is in the supported, commercial
release.  Has anybody ever produced any evidence that this is not the
case?  If not, for God's sake stop resurrecting the rumour.

You know, you can easily verify this for yourself, simply by comparing
the relatively small number of binary rpms that constitute the core
relase to their matching srpms.
