This raises various questions about GPL code. Maybe someone here can tell me
if my understanding is correct. 

You can use GPL code provided you provide the source or links to the source
code with your product. You may not claim ownership of the code, copyright
it etc. If you modify the code in anyway these changes need to be fed back
to the originator of the code. 

Personally, I go a stage further - if I sell a product based on GPL code
what I am selling is my skills in integrating the code. Basically, I am
selling the fact that it is simple to delivery - the purchaser is not buying
the software. 

If XDOOM are doing this (and forgive my lack of knowledge of Italian, I
can't see if this is the case) then they are a value added reseller of the
hardware - the VAR component being the integration. 

Just my 2 euro's worth.
