We do. I wrote a shell-script that removes proprietary files/packages
and bundles the resulting buildroot source tree which can then be used
to build all of the open-source stuff.
Nobody's ever _requested_ the sources, but they're available.
I don't expect that anyone ever will request sources, since without
the proprietary software, the hardware is pretty much useless. I
doubt any of our customers would be capable of building it even if
they did have the source tree in hand.
