That’s not part of the open source definition.

You can claim the open source code isn’t Windows 11, but you can’t complain the code isn’t open source.

(unless, of course, the code isn't licensed under an OSI-approved license. Parent didn't actually specify which license the hypothetical not-windows-11 was being "open sourced" under, so we can't actually say for sure whether this hypothetical release is open source or not)
