As a third party developer for Squeezebox, I would definitely have preferred documented API's and closed source software over the current situation with open source software and no documented API's. However, open source license makes sense for parts where you feel that community developers could help. Releasing everything as open source doesn't work because many streaming services doesn't allow you to expose their API to the public. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98467 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
