I believe you can buy tablets running Honeycomb so they would be distributing binaries here. But I don't know what code the article refers to as being held back, perhaps it is the userspace (under BSD-like license) only. Google probably knows better than blatantly violating the GPL.

Google isn't distributing any devices, so they are not even responsible for distributing the source, the device manufacturers (Motorola) are.
