Sure, and it's been done: https://github.com/christinaa/rpi-open-firmware https://github.com/christinaa/rpi-open-firmware - but that doesn't involve ThreadX source, just some standard reverse engineering work. ThreadX is really the least interesting part of this whole operation in terms of the Raspberry Pi.
It's very cool that ThreadX has been open sourced as it offers an additional battle tested and mature alternative to FreeRTOS for new projects. If they're able to get and maintain the various safety certifications for ThreadX under the Eclipse foundation, this could be game-changing in a very different space from the Pi. But in terms of reverse engineering or open sourcing the Raspberry Pi VideoCore blob, open source ThreadX is pretty much a non-event IMO.
