Wikipedia : "After Microsoft launched the Kinect for Xbox 360, Fried, along with Phillip Torrone, organized a $2,000 challenge for open source Kinect drivers. After Microsoft condemned the challenge as modification to their product, Adafruit increased the prize to $3,000.
After significant advancements in the open source drivers, spokespeople from Microsoft stated that they did not condemn the challenge, and in fact were excited to see what the community developed."
