When the time comes, where a company announces said new model, how will we know our Empeg Heros had anything to do with it?

It's never been a secret in the past, no reason it should be a secret in the future.

Deal is, their software is written under modified versions of Linux. The portions of their code representing modified parts of the OS, such as the kernel, must be open-sourced. And their code has their names all over it. So even if we don't know about a given product during development, we will certainly know about it at release time because the source code will be released, too.
