It is worth noting that the developers plan to comply with the GPL wherever possible and declare readiness (see comments) provide sources of the kernel and other utilities that have not previously been officially posted on the network:
Kernel will be open for every buyer, but kernel source code can be compiled only on ELBRUS and only with MCST proprietary C/C++ compiler and build system.
All other parts will be as source code - if we have it and was receive without super strong restrictions or parts own to us. (will be guaranteed to include glibc and other GPL parts)
