ASUS Posts Eee Source Code to Comply with GPL, Promises SDK

After catching a significant amount of ire for possibly violating the GNU General Public License, ASUS admitted its fault, apologized, and offered the complete sources for download, including the much-demanded asus_acpi module and kernel sources.

ASUS also announced the upcoming release of a software development kit specifically designed for the Eee.
