You might be correct, but they don't call it AirPlay for a reason, and
there are posts on the Linn forums that say that the reason for that is
licensing restrictions from Apple.
So I might be wrong, but neither Linn nor Boxee Box feels like Apple
authorized solutions when you read about them. Linn have decided to
call it something else (Net-Aux) and Boxee Box provides it as an
experimental feature which is disabled by default.
However, I assume both have done it in a way so they feel they can
defend their solution if lawyers from Apple would come and visit. I'm
not sure what actually requires a license, maybe you are "allowed" to
reverse engineer it as long as you don't officially call it AirPlay.
