Nah, they haven't open sourced anything: https://github.com/rheinmetall. They just published the documentation. Really weird, what's the point?

They've got the IDL files as well for the APIs, but you can't use them without their libs:

Theres probably some tender that says it must be a "open platform" "open ecosystem" "modular vendor independent" whatever. So you upload some slop to GitHub and tick the box.

I think that’s what the “protcol” (sic) in the title was supposed to indicate. I agree it’s misleading.
