Yes, DirectX is still looks closed to me, along with the NT Kernel and even EdgeHTML.

Isn't it clear from the article, like everyone else pointed out, that things going forward in Icaza's org are open? As in cloud and developer tools?

You're talking about older things.

MS open sourced ChakraCore (the core of the Chakra JavaScript engine). EdgeHTML is still closed to the best of my knowledge.

I think you're confusing EdgeHTML with ChakraCore.
