We've had a similar debate before, but the last time it about whether Linux device drivers based on non-public datasheets under NDA were actually open source. This debate occurred again over drivers that interact with binary blobs. I disagree with the purists - if you can legally change the source or weights - even without having access to the data used by the upstream authors - it's open enough for me. YMMV.
