When we are talking about OSS, we are talking about what is under sound/oss/ in the kernel sources.
The commercial OSS might be much better, but it's not relevant since it's not GPL'ed and therefore not a candidate for inclusion into the kernel.
As you said yourself, the "GPL'ed OSS is abandoned".And ALSA is it's successor in the kernel.
