Sean did a good thing, but his actions weren't always the best. Sean
championed the rotten Logitech Public Source License for the software
that drives Controller, Radio, and Touch, and I'm convinced that led to
a much lower level of "community" help fixing bugs and enhancing the new
platform. Fortunately Logitech fixed that problem and now (special
thanks also to Erland) we're starting to see an increasing number of
improvements and customizations that address the needs and desires that
Logitech can't tackle on its own. LPSL nearly killed the Squeezebox
line, as Slim Devices and Logitech SMBU never adequately staffed
themselves for the sort of closed development that the LPSL required.
It's clear to me that a bunch of warm feelings are due to a number of
Logitech folks (including old-timers now on the payroll like Ben,
Michael, and Andy) who fought to fix the LPSL mess and get things
moving again. Certainly I forgive Sean his licensing goof, and thank
everbody on the Slim/Logi payroll and off for all the great things
they've done.
