I do not think that Pocketbook will open up their firmware anytime soon. Releasing their firmware would mean that other vendors could take it and put on their devices (depending on the licensing, of course). Pocketbook making money by selling their hardware, first of all, cannot be interested in such a thing, since after all a high-quality ebook reader is nothing without its firmware.
I much rather see Amazon open up Kindle's firmware, because they see their device mainly as a means to establish themselves as the main ebook platform.
So - it's rather unrealistic, don't you think?
(Don't get me wrong, I am a GNU/Linux proponent myself, but I am trying to be realistic here...)
