They have to provide the source code for those DLLs, which they aren't doing.

Actually I wanted to know, which clause says that. Is it Section 4d0?

No they don't, if I am correct all they need to do is allow you to swap out the dll for your own and put a license.txt or what not with the license. As long as the DLL is setup as a shared library (which it is) it is fine.

The source code is necessary to create "your own".
