Was Best Buy a defendant (I'm not sure if "defendant" or "respondent" is correct in this case) because of its own Insignia TV's, or because selling e.g. "Westinghouse" (or Sony or Panasonic) TV's with embedded Linux makes it effectively a distributor of GPL'd software and therefore subject to the requirement to make source available?
