Yeah, I was thinking the same thing: that having access to source code is really useful for developing and debugging, regardless of whether there is a community around the project. I've been experimenting with ONVIF to create an IP camera that can be integrated with windows without the user having to install any additional software. I almost never touch windows and I must say that the experience has been very frustrating because things do not behave according to spec and I can't look at the source code to see what's actually happening. Access to source code makes a world of difference. Otherwise, you're left guessing and the quality of your product will suffer because you end up doing "whatever works" under your circumstances. Under different circumstances that can break.
