I hate to break it to you, but Roku OS uses the Linux kernel and a bunch of other open source stuff. (The UI etc. is proprietary, but never mind that for now.)
The issue here is DRM and Tivoization, not just having access to the source code.

So the closed source OS uses open source stuff?

What I’m saying is that even if it were 100% open source, IT STILL WOULDN’T BE ENOUGH because the hardware would refuse to run anything that wasn’t cryptographically signed by Roku, Inc.
