Microsoft: No GPLv3 Software for Windows Phone and...
If they distribute GPL software aren't they also responsible for making the source available. Why would they want to open themselves to that headache?

If the free linuxes can do it, im sure MS can handle it. It's not much of a hassle to add an extra menu item.
I think the real problem is unlocking & GPLv3. MS was never GPL friendly either.

No, Section2 (of the GPLv2) allows you to either distribute the source code along with it, or written offer to where to get the source code.
