The Taiwanese manufacturer had published their software earlier, allowing developers to tweak it as they wished.
Involving the community at this stage is brilliant, and no doubt will lead to a far superior product. The other takeaway is that this model is just as easily replicable for any other product - think television sets for instance, or laptops.
