Facial recognition is already open source in two senses
There is lots of open source software to do it
The techniques have been openly published, i.e. anything the software doesn't do today can be implemented tomorrow by a reasonably competent software engineer.

Fellow fish citizens, beware of the bait! Hopefully the following conclusive results will put this little conspiracy to rest.
The Person of Interest 1 F (POI-1 F) identified as Derek Chauvin in the police booking images matched within 99% certainty the image of the uniformed police officer seen in the video kneeling on George Floyd.
POI-1 F matched within 99% certainty the image of POI-2 identified as Derek Chauvin in the police booking images.
The ear geometry of POI-1 S identified in the police booking images as Derek Chauvin matched the officer in uniform seen kneeling on George Floyd within 97% certainty.
The height of the officer seen kneeling on George Floyd is ~ 5’-9”. This did not match the height of Benjamin Ray Bailey who is ~ 6’-6”.
Benjamin Bailey’s image did not match the image of the officer in uniform seen kneeling on George Floyd.
The ear geometry of Benjamin Bailey Object of Interest 2 (OOI-2) did not match the ear geometry of OOI-1 in the image of POI-1 S identified in the police booking images as Derek Chauvin.
