following Martin's timely advice, may I please try again, so we can 
finish this with simple answers?

the question is (or are)

   1. is locking users out in compliance with current GPL?
   2. does Ceibal lock out users?
   3. is there a known procedure to get keys for Ceibal users?
   4. is Ceibal in compliance with current GPL?
   5. if no, who should follow up? the FSF? the Sugarlabs Board?
   6. were of-record (2, 3) Ceibal policies to continue, would it be in
      compliance with GPL3?
   7. if no, who should follow up? the FSF? the Sugarlabs Board?

I know that 2 and 3 are almost rhetorical, but in the interest of not 
building other questions as "loaded", I add them there.  There even 
might be good news I am unaware of that someone who is better informed 
can offer!

Thank you

Yama
