So far the bme has following two reasons for being closed sourced:
  1. security

Both are pretty much debunked in the bug report's comments, there just isn't any interest from the copyright owner to open the code.

The question applies to 770, N800, N810, N900.
Charging the N900 seems to be straightforward enough (comment #44). For the N8x0s, OpenWRT has a kernel-side implementation (which I tried a couple of times and seemed to work, and didn't blow anything up even). No idea about the 770.
