Thanks, Geoff and tanstaafl. I read through that thread. I now understand Hugo's stance on the issue, and I agree with him.
It seems as though I was confusing "open source" with "open API and developer tools". Empeg has plans to do the latter, but not the former. Personally, having the latter sounds just as good to me. The question that opened this thread (about adding on new play modes) could be accomplished via an API. I'm looking forward to the day that we see third-party add-ons for the Empeg Car.
