Kbin is open source. Surely the android app should be as well?

There's no correlation between those two.
Just because Kbin is something, doesn't mean the app consuming its API (or well, in this case, scraping, since it doesn't have useful API yet) can be whatever the software author decides it to be.

Having said that, I believe the upcoming Artemis app is going to be open sourced, once the codebase "calms down" a bit. It's still in prototype and I'd assume the dev doesn't want to deal with people reporting issues or forking it at this point.
