A group of Linux users have spoken out against Asus and their apparent non-compliance with certain aspects of the General Public License attached to Xandros Linux distro that comes with the Eee PC.
This flustered controversy centers around Asus modifying a module of the Linux kernel without distributing the source code, something that breaks the rules of the license.
As for whether Asus will step up and do what it should have done from day one, that'll depend on how loud the developers involved make their case.
Your average Eee PC owner isn't going to give a damn about such a trivial point, so end users can safely ignore this debate.
Type harder guys!
