Didnt think so, so quit your bitching.
The ROMs are Open Source

That's not the point of calling this out for not being open source.
If a product is claiming that it is "open source" and no source code is open, that is false marketing and claiming something about the product that is obviously not true. Similarly, if an open source product uses some closed source product, you the consumer should be informed to.
But if we want to throw all information out the window and just take any word a marketer throws at us, then by all means do so.
