Not really. That more applies to board-game rules; TTRPG systems are more like guidelines for GMs and players.
But regardless of that, open source licences have nothing to do with what the code is doing; they are about using certain specific code in other products. Code is not copyrightable, so you can take some closed-source code and replicate its functionality in a different way - using different language idioms, or a completely different language - completely legally.
