Possibly. But even if the source code becomes public, the APIs may not be. 

Also, don't underestimate the "impedance mismatch" between the FX and Java2D 
rendering models. There is not a nice 1:1 mapping between the immediate mode 
style of Java2D and other similar APIs and the retained/multiple thread model 
used by JavaFX.
