I think we need to remember that the business models these proprietary companies use cannot shoehorn open-source in very nicely.
They are a hardware company. That is their core business. They need programmers to write software so they can test their hardware, but software will never be a major moneyspinner for them.
We don't need their software. What we need is good, clear specs of the hardware they manufacture. We can do the rest ourselves, and we prefer it that way
