They could release the source without the DRM components or any proprietary components which they don't hold the copyright to. Yeah, we wouldn't be able to play back DRM-protected content, but for people who are trying to use a free software operating system, who cares? Plus, we could probably replace the missing proprietary components (like any codecs or stuff like that) with our own free software ones.

That way, their 'big seller' would still remain in their proprietary versions, we would be happy with our free software versions, and everything would be good.
