I believe the things that can be open source already is.
The parts that aren't open source can't be because the third parties
that owns them doesn't allow Logitech to let anybody else redistribute
them. The Logitech logotypes and other graphics is not redistributable
but it's pretty obvious why Logitech doesn't want anybody else to
redistribute software with a Logitech logotype or Logitech graphics.

The only thing that isn't open sourced that possibly could be is the
Android and iOS controllers, but those aren't worth anything anyway as
there are third party iOS and Android controller apps already that are a
lot better than the Logitech apps.

mysqueezebox.com can't be open source because it contains API access
code from streaming providers which Logitech isn't allowed to show to
third parties.
