Just wait for a few years and then you can forget everything about open or open source about Arduino. And maybe in 2030, you will only be able to run the Arduino IDE on Windows with a specific driver to ensure that you only flash a firmware to a DRM controlled authentic Arduino device.

It is a nightmare when such an acquisition happen.

Arduino made a lot of their boards closed source a while ago IIRC. I was surprised this one is supposedly going to be open source.
