I think we're getting a little to worked up about nothing here.

We should think ourselves lucky that:

1. the hardware and firmware of the SB3 is so mature and reliable
2. SqueezeCenter is GPL

We are lucky that SlimDevices originally decided to put most of the
functionality, the stuff we all tinker with and expand, in a GPL'd
piece of software, and not the closed firmware or hardware of the
Squeezebox.

If Microslop were to buy Logitech, then so be it. Yes, we might lose
some of the cool-factor, but so what? The source is open, so someone
will fork it. And when it forks, the only thing lost is incremental
improvements to firmware. Which ain't that much of a loss, considering
its maturity.
