removing open source is correct here, how about the following?

| **NOTE: Foxglove Studio is no longer open-source. An open-source alternative that also supports the MCAP file format is** `Rerun.io <https://rerun.io>`__ , **with source code available at https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun.** |

this is the dedicated documentation how to use foxglobe studio with ROS 2.
IMO if we want to introduce rerun, we should have dedicated and whole procedure how to use rerun instead.

I concur here. While I think it is fine to mention that Foxglove is closed source and that there are open source alternatives it is pretty unsatisfying that there is no documentation to point the end user to.
The Rerun team is pretty friendly, I'll give them a ping.
