I haven't poked around a whole lot, but if it was FOSS (which I haven't been able to find a github repo or code yet) then there (imo) wouldn't be an issue because then the software could be forked.
As far as I know its not.
But I would definitely agree that if it's open-sourced then it's not an issue because we could just fork it and make a different pool based off of the same style. I honestly need to sit down and watch the presentation still but it starting to sound like it was a lot of marketing BS.
