It's completely pointless here.  Those people who don't want to go
opensource (and only those are usually concerned about the licensing
terms) will likely set the device lock bits afterwards anyway, so what
will it be good for?  It might satisfy the letter of the licensing
terms, but not the spirit, so you can safely even spare the 200 bytes
for that in your ROM.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
