That was SLIMP3 firmware, which was all code I wrote myself, so we could release it however we wanted. Squeezebox and Squeezebox2 include 3rd party proprietary OS and wireless drivers and require a $30,000 development kit in order to write code for them. These are just a few of the obstacles to opening up firmware development.

Well, I suppose an alternative would be to open up all the necessary hardware specs (if they're not already open) and encourage an independent open source firmware development from scratch. If or when it surpasses the stock firmware in features and stability, you could switch to it.
