I think it depends on what the mythical third party wants to do. If they simply want to easily add streaming audio to a device which doesn't have it (e.g. SBR-in-a-minisystem) then sure, I can understand them just licensing the whole SBR and throwing it in. On the other if they already have a streamer, display, CPU, software etc etc I don't see how any licensing deal would be very useful. Any firmware Logitech could provide probably wouldn't work on their box without a lot of modification so why not just implement it yourself and save the fees? I guess Logitech could develop custom implementations for hire but that's a long way from just licensing. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48945 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
