The hardware drivers may be expected to be closed - it is a matter of industrial property protection
(which is debatable and I for one do not always agree with one way or the other)
and even then there are bits for which closed-source drivers are just ludicrous.

Having the calendar, addresses contacts and localization closed source
is simply breathtakingly stupid there is utterly no justification for this.
If they would open up the source on those issues anyone could rewrite their
code in a heartbeat to make the UI so much better.
