There's some mention of this on www.i-opener-linux.net, they seem to think
it's an empty threat, since Netpliance has *also* set up a place-holder
"developer's corner" page (at http://www.netpliance.com/devcorner) where
they say how tickled they are by the whole open-source concept and they want
to sell machines to hackers.
