How does an OS f/w project like this get started?

Interesting stuff. Thanks guys.

It's hard to see why a company would object if they're not charging for the firmware.
Of course it might create support issues but that can be addressed.
I wonder if the company has any legal redress if it were reverse engineered. And, if the company released the technical details required to build the firmware, would it be of use to their competitors?

Are you thinking about the docs/HISTORY file in the source?

Ah that's one of them - I saw it wasn't part of the usual install any more, should have thought of SVN...
