For the record, "open source" simply means that the code is available  
to users upon request.  This box totally satisfies this requirement:  
the hardware is documented and alterable, the firmware is user  
changeable, and, on top of  that, the existing firmware is  
programmable. There is no requirement that "open source" work on a  
multitude of platforms.  The beauty of open source is that you can  
create a platform, rather than a finished product, and let the  
community decide what features are worth adding.
 From the FAQ, he says "This is a one-man project which resulted from  
creating something I wanted for myself and making it available to the  
public." This is one reason the double-ohs are cooler than the 90's -  
things like this simply could NOT happen 10 years ago!!!
