They have Atheros hardware, and come with AirOS with offers "Open Source" Philosophy and Full SDK and Ubiquiti engineering support open for 3rd party firmware development. Not sure how much of AirOS is actually free software, but it can reportedly be reflashed with OpenWRT.

Hear, hear, I have over 70 5 GHz NanoStations in operation and it really performs quite well.
Older AirOS versions (<5) were home-rolled Linux 2.4 distributions, where most things are OpenSource and delivered with the SDK, the exceptions being a few Atheros blobs and some userspace programs.
AirOS 5 is a customized OpenWRT, with Linux 2.6, with a specialized init and user interface.
The amount of binary blobs is limited in any case and Ubiquity hasn't gone out of their way to make it hard to customize the system.
