OK guys, take a deep breath...:-)
I think the guys over at iRex aren't trying to violate anything...they're just sitting there and trying to make the Iliad ready for the general public. If they release their sources now, they'll have to release updated sources about every 2 weeks when the code porgresses. So I see little sense in doing that right now.
However, I find it deeply disturbing, that it's now end of september and we still have only minimal power-saving and only one really useable File-Viewer...and things are moving so slowly that it seems like it'll be 2007 before the device is more or less ready.
Seen from that perspective, I'd say iRex should give a true dev-kit to a larger group of open-sourcers and let them try their luck with alternat OS builds...but that's something no company will do...ever...and a real pity that is.
Look at the Nokia 770...they let the community do (part of ) their work, and the 770 is really up and running better than ever from what I hear...so iRex, don't miss your chance because you are afraid to ask for help...:-)
