Open sourcing the software is always a cool idea, however, eventually the ahrdware will die...then what?
Based on my observations of his behavior, I also suspect Greg's price for the IP would be rather..."proud". Can't hurt to ask though.
Would be interesting to opensource both the hardware spec and software. If you could convince Greg that it is also a possible business model (ie. sell both completed units without the software and build it yourself kits...) and otherwise be the business "sponsor" like in OS software elsewhere.
Of course, someone will fork your code, start their own project...and you have to be ready to deal with that.
