They aren&amp;#x27;t open sourcing anything today.&lt;p&gt;They are planning to develop new tech which they might open source. But all this still has to be approved by the regulator and the government.&lt;p&gt;That said, I have seen some of the tech from the inside ~10 years ago. The ARD player was developed by a third party and there was no budget to bring this in house. Things might have changed but redoing everything just to open source it sounds like a waste of money.</text></comment>
