No need to do that, their linux client is open source IIRC.

  The program that talks to their daemon is open source. The daemon itself is not.

    That's why I said their "client".

      The daemon is also a client. It talks to their server.

      The client is split into two parts. The "dropboxd" daemon, which talks the server, is proprietary. The "nautilus-dropbox" plugin, which integrates with the GNOME desktop, is under GPL. The RPC protocol between nautilus-dropbox and dropboxd is documented. But (as far as I know) the network protocol between dropboxd and the server is not.
