Of course. Honeywell can run their own proprietary applications on top of a Linux/GNU system. I didn't mean to imply that you could request the source code to every program running on the device.

However they need to provide the source code for any GPL licensed portions. IIRC they should also provide build scripts so you can create a firmware image yourself.

GPL only requires providing build scripts for GPL software. In this case it means they can't strip kernel makefiles from the kernel source to make it harder to build independently.
