Hello, I don't think so it is. Out of curiosity, why are you asking?
I don't know if it would require those drivers to be open source, but one thing I can imagine is that it might allow USBSerial code to work with the standard mbed Serial drivers, instead of having to go 20 menus deep into Windows to reboot in a mode where I am allowed to install the unsigned drivers for USBSerial.
