Yes but Sony published the Librie source in a timely fashion, and has kept publishing it. Plus you can re-flash a Librie with out shipping it back to Japan.
In any case, even if iRex published the sources tomorrow, the lack of re-flash wouldn't be solved.
If they published the sources tomorrow though I can tell you one thing that would happen, they'd get all kinds of source code being sent back to them with bug fixes and enhancements. They really should have thought of that before deciding not to publish the source.
If they had setup a CVS server with the source and invited developers in, with limited check in's... the iLiad would be far more developed and polished today than it is.
