@cloudhop I wasn't saying that you weren't right to go on a rant against idiots. I was just clarifying the situation with BOSE as I saw it...

@cloudhop Let's be clear - there are some opposing issues here.

What BOSE has done is opened up the API to a device they are EOL'ing. Yes, this is a good thing.

However, praising them for "open-sourcing" the hardware is incorrect.  They have not open-sourced anything. This is why they still deserve criticism.
