Software Defined does not mean PC based or Open Source.  In Amateur 
radio circles these concepts are often confused.

The K3 *is* a Software Defined Radio.  It is not PC based.  It is not 
open source.  Our hardware schematics freely available for download.

The SDR from Flex is PC based. It is open source.  The schematics are 
not published.

Enjoy!
