Yes it is, the sources are now easily available to anyone who bother to look for them. Whether sources are "open" or not is not a matter of legality, it is a matter of logistics.

Stealing source code doesn't make it open.

In most of the world, it is not illegal to be in possession of the sources, or to do whatever you want with them. Hence de-facto open source.

In most of the world it is a copyright violation.

There are reasons by PCs run with a Bios - and UEFI is approximately as bad as an idea as the Kickstart was, even though it is much less complex. Look at all the UEFI bugs that were discovered in the last years, including some bugs that could brick your entire system...

I don't agree that kickstart is a particularly bad idea. If you had a flash chip instead of a rom, like every PC available today, then it would solve most of the issues.
