Amazon code release irrelevant, Kindle is still closed - Ars Technica

Openness of a platform and openness of a software are not the same. You can run a MediaWiki site with closed membership, for example. When the code for a device is open source, then third parties are more likely to be able to develop features for it without the device manufacturers' permission, making the device/platform more open. But still, with things like firmware update, the openess could be compromised.

Installation and GUI were said to be the biggest hurdles for wider Linux adoption. Now drivers? I think it is not about drivers. It is probably about branding and brand awareness. People would be worried about an OS that they have never heard of.
