As I've understood from your picture Jolla doesn't have access to Sailfish RUS specific source code meaning backdoors could be inserted without Jollas knowledge. Only into the RUS specific version though.
That'd be a GPL violation right there. Which translates into a higher risk for the players (for example the RUS specific version).

Bottomline : get caught with your pants down, and it's trouble

EDIT : this for the OPEN components. It might actually be that Jolla will be forced to open up the (remaining) closed ones for security validation.
