DJGPP has a special exception from the GNU license: if a program was produced with the stock (i.e. unchanged) versions of the libraries distributed as part of djdevNNN.zip package, the resulting program can be distributed without the sources. This is explained in the DJGPP FAQ list, section 19.1. That's how the Doom game was distributed by id Software without sources, quite legally. Note that I don't know anything about Bt848 Software developer kit, and the other points you mentioned do indeed indicate that the sources should be included.
