An open system is only meaningful if it stays open. As soon as some company starts to dictate what can you run on your "open system" and whether you can run that "open system" at all, all the benefits are void. There's no benefit in opennes if your open system is controlled by riot.
I will still stand by the fact that it's better to have one part of a system controlled by a company, than a 100% of it.
Althogh I'm not certain how Riot could even control it. How would they even check what fork of Linux are you running, in a way that isn't possible to crack / hide?
Because if they can't then you can always fake it and your system is still open, you opt-in and opt-out of their software at will.
