Sad to see them go this way, but not unexpected, thanks to the article by Josef Prusa where he complains about open source.

SV08/ voron for the folks that like to tinker (and value not living in a walled garden, Sovol's hot end/ nozzles not withstanding).

I would call the SV08 hot end/nozzles proprietary-ish. They still published everything on github, which enabled the community to design a modified heat sink (that I got printed on PCBWay). The updated heat sink allows you to swap in an E3D Revo nozzle. That wouldn't be possible if it was truly proprietary.

If I remember correctly, they give back money to the voron community and are (as far as I know) fully open source all the way.
