Yes and no.
Android is open source, but it's encumbered enough to be a schlep to build a full working system.
Biblical source materials are sorta similar. There are a lot of good source materials from the previous two centuries, but a lot of modern tools are under restrictive copyrights.
We have actually learned a lot more about the original texts, Hebrew/Greek vocabulary that's only available in copyrighted materials.
Also, English is constantly evolving and most of the unencumbered translations read a bit strangely already (Think ASB).
So it's not fully locked down, but it feels kind of like doing iOS development without a Mac.
