The Dronecode Foundation aims to keep UAVs open (Opensource.com)

Opensource.com follows up with the Dronecode Foundation, which was founded in October 2014. "In the past year, Dronecode's developer community has grown from 1,200 to more than 2000 contributors, with more than 12,000 commits in the codebase. The rate of development is rapid with 1,000 commits being reviewed a month, with well over 2 million lines of code across the various Dronecode projects. Developers from Qualcomm, Intel, Parrot, Yuneec and many others are actively engaged in the development of the Dronecode technology stack. As a result, updates, new releases and project milestones are in motion all the time. For example, in late May, the APM project released version 3.3 of its flight code, and the PX4 project reached a milestone with the first RC candidate for release 1.0."

Glad to see APM is copyleft so it'll indeed stay open. PX4 is BSD licensed, so that could go either way.
