On this page, <http://insigniaproducts.com/support.html>, we have

    Open Source Software

    For OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE information
    refer to the on-screen display on your
    product. If you require additional
    information or you wish to receive the
    complete corresponding GPL or LGPL
    licensed source code, please call the
    Insignia support line at 1-877-467-4289.
    This source code is available for a period
    of three (3) years from the date of the
    distribution of this product by Insignia.

The manual for the NS-WBRDVD player says:
<http://insigniaproducts.com/cms/documents/NS-WBRDVD%20UM%20EN%20V4.pdf>

    PUBLIC LICENSE

    This product contains software that is subject to the GNU Public
    License Version 2 (GPL2). You can obtain a copy of the GPL
    License from
    http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html.

    If you require additional information or you wish to receive
    source code, please call the Insignia support line at
    1-877-467-4289. The source code is available for a period of
    three (3) years from the date of the distribution of this product
    by Insignia.

And this is then followed by the full text of the GPL2.

So Insignia at least appears willing to carry out the terms of the
GPL, even if it's not managing to actually accomplish that for some
of its products. As in most of these cases, there's no anti-GPL
prejudice going on, merely neglect and incompetence at getting it
right.
