It's their choice for the business model and that [something we cannot alter]. However, since KaiOS is derived from Firefox OS, parts of the operating system such as Boot2Gecko are under [Mozilla Public Licence 2.0], and KaiOS Technologies has no choice but to open-source the original work by the Mozilla team. The companies are not required to release any changes or additions they made beyond the open-sourced modules, and opted not to do so.
