Today I helped unpack and set up my dad's new 40" LCD Sony BRAVIA
television.  In the box, among the various manuals and warranty cards, what
do I find?

A copy of the GPL!!

Apparently some part of the TV's internals uses GPL licensed code, and the
paper is the GNU GPL V2, plus the locaction where you can get the source
code.  Here's the URL:
http://products.sel.sony.com/opensource/source_bivl.shtml

Now I wonder if I can get a shell prompt... :-)
