Hardware?

The server is fully open.
The recent units, Radio, Touch, etc. have a fairly strong computer in
them, and there are SDK and documentation. Even a separate forum (Jive)
for that.

I think (not sure) that the fundamental operating system on the recent
units is not open source, but that is mostly kernel level stuff that no
sane person wants to touch anyway.

The protocols between the server and the units is open and well documented.

I see this as a lot like MySql, Sun bought MySql, and Oracle is trying
to buy Sun (and MySql) and there are already forks off by the open
source folks.
