Oh, it is exactly the traditional meaning. Just that instead of hacking on some OSS projects, people here tend to hack on their own (hopefully) commercial stuff. But hacking remains.

Hacking has a strong connotation with openness. Look at the outcry when Bill Gates complained about people copying his stuff. Hacking is about stretching things beyond their designed limits. Who the "things" belong to is usually irrelevant.
