SqueezeCenter is Open Source (http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd), but
the Controller software (the top layer, the "Jive" code) is released
under a very restrictive (IMO) proprietary license. See
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?JiveArchitecture -- the Logitech
Public Source license
(http://svn.slimdevices.com/trunk/jive/src/pkg/jive/LICENSE?root=Jive&view=markup)
is what I'm talking about.

For instance, the Logitech Public Source license does not allow me to
share a modified version directly with anyone other than Logitech, and
it tries to claim for Logitech the right to knock on my door and demand
any changes I've made to the Jive software for my own personal use. 

The source code for the Controller is available, but it is NOT open
source.
