As I understand it (could be wrong), they have to in accordance with Android OS license.
The only thing they're compelled to share is the Kernel. Everything else is under the Apache license, IIRC, which is similar to the BSD license in that software under the license can be kept closed. Additionally, they've provided raw tarballs and not version controlled repositories (bleh) of stuff that is changed from the Android repos. Nothing terribly interesting.
