Answer: I'm assuming that by the terms "Open source" and "License" you mean a firewall that is free of charge or paid .
Considering that, ISO 27001 is not prescriptive about how a firewall, or any other control, should be implemented, so organizations have freedom to choose the implementation that better fits its needs, provided that the solution is used in accordance with the license terms associated therewith (even open source firewall may have license terms that must be followed).
