Is it open source? If not, why choose the name “OpenNode”?

Just like how OpenAI is open source.

Open as in "The door is open come in and give us your money"

[gosub100]

Open for scammers, rug pulls, and money laundering

[Retr0id]

"Open as in wallet"

Avoid trademarking fees! No need to spend money on trademarking what can't be trademarked ;)

So, OpenAI is certainly never trademarked? /s

Ironically, OpenAI would be trademarkable because they're not open.

> OPEN describes a feature of the services provided by applicant, in that applicant provides a "public node" that is accessible to anyone and allows users to interact with the blockchain network. See attached from opennode.com. Thus, "OPEN" is descriptive of the applicant's services, in that it conveys the open and public nature of the node that the applicant provides.

As other commenters replying to you have said, I was alluring to OpenAI failing to obtain a trademark precisely due to the "Open" in their name.
