The I am not a lawyer conditions apply, but luckily most of the GPL licenses are pretty straightforward. It would be nice for a member of the Roku team to make it crystal clear though.
Roku's terms in III are that they not be required to publicly post anything about the open source code you might use. At this point in the game it seems unlikely, brightscript is a closed system for the Roku DVP, and the availability of Open Source code written in bright-script is pretty much none at the moment.
The GnuGPL states that the source code be remarked to indicate changes to the source code be made, not a public statement.
So if you program a channel in bright script and release the code under GnuGPL then anybody whom modifies that code with the intent to distribute it, must adhere to the GnuGPL terms and remark the code appropriately and adhere to distribution and use terms.
I don't see anywhere in that license that would require Roku to publicly post notice, or take any other action. I think this is typical of the open source licenses
Unless you do something wierd with the license, or append additional conditions you should be in the clear.
