ole.tange,
Welcome to the forum.
The thread you posted, respectfully, dealt with a single internal component, as the explanation below it specified.
The software included in most of our camera packs is the Samsung Master software, which is also not open source.
You are free to do development with the cameras, but as far as programmability and support, I'm unsure they will do what you want them to do. Are you looking at a specific model?
It is possible to run any photo software with the images from the camera by transferring them via USB to your computer, but that would fall under third party applications, and we wouldn't be able to offer support on how to use code other than what was packaged with the unit.
I hope that answers your questions.

First, thanks for providing this service. I found it through http://forums.cnet.com/5208-13973_102-0.html?forumID=146&threadID=302020&messageID=2816789
I have a question similar to that thread.
I am considering buying a new camera. I need the camera to be programmable, so I am currently considering one of the green cameras on http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/For_Developers.
However, I have had good experiences with my Samsung cameras, and it rumour has it, that you are using free software in you cameras - maybe even GNU/Linux as operating system. So if I can program a Samsung camera, I will probably prefer buying a Samsung instead.
Do you know if it is possible to run my own software on a Samsung camera? Is there a description on how?
