What part other than a small image library which was originally distributed by Red Hat as GPL is available as source code? It is still a proprietary product - just because it is free (beer) doesn't make it Free (freedom). VMWare need to make the modifications, OR distributors need to ensure it works correctly if they are going to distribute it. Perhaps a message could be displayed post installation that for VMWare Player to operate correctly usbfs must be mounted. This would seem logical if it not going to be enabled by default.
