JavaFX is already 100% open source. It can be used with the code that will be contributed when the proposed OpenJDK project is approved. These are not orthogonal in any way.

What would be the reason/logic for not including JavaFX in these JDKs?

I recall reading that these JDKs won't include any UI components.  Since iOS 
doesn't support JIT, the iOS port of JDK will certainly be AOT compiling.

The world of Java and JavaFX is growing more confusing than ever it seems.

Some say Oracle is cutting back on funding for Java because it is effectively 
helping its competitors. Sounds similar to Google forking WebKit so they 
weren't writing code for Apple.

But now we hear of the looming release of official JDKs for iOS and Android 
from Oracle.

Will these JDKs be the best and simplest way of running JavaFX on those 
platforms? Without JIT support, will these JDKs support AOT compiling?

Do the proposed JDKs for mobiles even include JavaFX?
