My EDO app only updates the kernel partition of the filesystem - which
as Linux is GPL and is required to be open source for any things which
are statically linked to it.  This works as the non open kernel modules
(wifi driver) and some binaries for the IR processor are in the main
filesystem and are dynamically loaded and still part of the Logitech
distribution.

Its definitely possible to build a 3rd party firmware for Touch -
however as you say there's some binaries which are part of this which
are probably not distributable without agreement.
