I think most developers are aware of these sources. The problem, however, is that they are not the sources for the firmware, but rather for some parts of the firmware. The most crucial pieces that make the difference between 2.x and 3.x are not part of it, namely the Java code for the viewer and the native interfaces (JNI) they use.
