Earlier this week Amazon.com announced that the source code for Kindle devices has been open sourced.  The code is based on Linux kernel 2.6.22 with 2.1 software along with E Ink drivers and other hardware drivers.  The licenses for the code is unknown too, but it believed to be the GNU General Public License.  The code for the original Kindle, the Kindle DX, and the Kindle 2 is available here.
