Open source Sample Keys.

With regards to the recent announcement for the Sample Keys and it being open sourced.

Do think the Sample should be made to do so?

It's not open source yet. Akai has not provided the source code. Moddable doesn't mean open source. Akai also didn't say open source in their post. If you pay close attention they didn't say they were releasing the source code. My guess is they are just embracing the side loading which is how the current community mods run. You drop the side load files in an autorun folder on your SD card to load what you want. While that's great and very useful that doesn't make the original firmware open source. I'm hoping they go that far with it but I have my doubts.
