OK, so there is no legal block to prevent a community forking SBS/LMS
and growing from there - the basic issue is simply the scale of the
effort involved. There are examples of community efforts delivering
complex systems successfully - MythTV being an obvious example that
springs to mind. 

Regarding player hardware, I see someone has already got Squeezeplay
running on Raspberry Pi. Partner that with a suitable USB DAC for a high
quality playback device. Some enterprising outfit could package it up in
an attractive enclosure to satisfy those who don't want to build their
own.

Seems to me that a combination of Vortexbox applicance, Pi-based players
and iOS/Android controllers is all we need. (But I speak as a non-user
of mysb.com - I do appreciate that some SB users depend on that
service).
