Open source for the FMS is pretty silly. You cannot test and validate it without all of the specialized hardware required for a field and you cannot do any coding on the part that changes yearly (the scoring) without knowing the details of a game that's kept secret.

It's also pretty darned broken.
And on the topic of testing without knowing the game, that is just wrong. It's absolutely possible to test data transport without knowing the game. And a properly architected system should just have game specific actions as part of a workflow anyway.
