"With our operating system, the Playstation could very easily be your home CD player, DVD player, MP3 player and home computer, as well as a great game box," said Terra Soft CEO Kai Staats of the PS3, "This is not an application-limited appliance, this is a full-blown computer. There is no issue of ‘can it do this or that?' It can do everything." More here.

If Sony is going to allow anyone to run Linux and any programs they want to on the PS3, doesn't that open it up to piracy or cheating in online games?
No. PS3 games don't run on Linux, let along Yellow Dog Linux. They're entirely unrelated aspects of the PS3.
If they are ok with this why do they keep updating the PSP firmware to lock out third party programs?
Because they're unable to move PSP games and media. If this becomes a problem on the PS3, you can be certain Sony will rethink its strategy -- but for now, Sony's betting that people will buy PS3s for the games first and foremost.
