Seems to me the easiest thing would be for Netpliance to offer to
sell the "hackable" hardware, without the tutorial software and the
code that connects to their home base, but that instead drops into
the QNX shell at boot.

Charge some reasonable profit for whatever they're paying for the
hardware in the quantities they buy.  I'm guessing they could make
money on the unit at $499.  Would you buy one at that price?  I
probably would.
