I read somewhere that it runs Linux, maybe they were wrong but I doubt
you can pack that kind of hardware and embed windows at that  price
point.
Of course the fact that runs linux (if it does) doesn't mean it's open:
as I already said these companies (sigma, broadcom) only take from
linux to reduce their development cost but never give back, not even a
single line of specifications for their hardware.
