Then, in that case, the answer is no, the Windows OS and built-in
components (i.e. Windows Firewall) are not open source.  However, it can
be turned off and replaced with any of the multiple third-party
firewalls available for Windows, some of which are open source.

Here is an interesting site, and they do have a section on firewalls:
The OSSwin project: Open Source for Windows!
