there doesn't seem to be any explanation of how/why apple is doing this. anyone know what's up?

  The same thing that was "up" when they bought Siri, Inc (from SRI International). They acquired a technology that they're going to use to differentiate their products. And apparently they feel it's a more strategic technology than, say, WebKit or LLVM.

    They didn't "acquire" WebKit or LLVM in quite the same way as Siri or OpenNI.

      And no-one said they did. I mentioned WebKit and LLVM to make the distinction between technologies Apple has no problem making available to 'the community' and those they do not.
