Trust me, having DRM / trusted platform enabler will mean more software to be available for the device, with zero damage to open ecosystem. Unless you count pirates as part of open ecosystem...
If I can't reflash-and-have-DRM - then the original software is NOT open source. You just can't change anything or even verify that it is
an open source.
