From the announcement it seems that Bose publishes its API documentation, and even that does not allow you to use it fully looking at its licens.
Open Source (a newer term for #FreeSoftware) refers to https://opensource.org/osd. Where is the part of Bose that complies with that "open source definition"?
Maybe we have a case of "open source washing" in the announcement here.
It is a good step for Bose customers that they make a final release of their app and publish their API documentation. However if they really "open sourced" their speaker software, a third party could maintain the apps and do security updates. Even better for customers. ;-)
