Yes.....Yes.....Yes

I'm a relative newcomer (first product purchased a few years ago), but
it appears the founders of the company were able to bootstrap product
development with their Open source - Kumbaya scheme to get free labor.
This allowed them to make more money personally. At some point,
Logitech may tire of this, sink the Kumbaya ship, hire a few more
coders, and move on. 

The gearheads do seem to take stuff personally and act proprietarily,
sometimes acting miffed as if someone opened the door to their private
clubhouse. That's normal, they've contributed to where things are. But,
the key is, they don't HAVE a proprietary interest, and they don't seem
to understand that.
