Does the Lebesgue measure induce a finitely additive measure on the Boolean algebra of regular open subsets of (0,1)? Let $(0,1)$ the unit interval.  An open subset $\mathcal{R}\subseteq(0,1)$ is regular if it is the interior of its own closure.  The intersection of two regular open sets is regular.  Unfortunately, the union of two regular open sets is generally not regular.  (For example, if $0<a<b<c<1$, then the open intervals $(a,b)$ and $(b,c)$ are regular, but their disjoint union $(a,b)\sqcup(b,c)$ isn't.)
Neither is the complement of a regular open set.  Thus, if we define $\mathfrak{R}$ to be the family of all regular open subsets of $(0,1)$, then $\mathfrak{R}$ is not a Boolean algebra under the standard set-theoretic operations.  However, $\mathfrak{R}$ is a Boolean algebra under slightly different operations.  If $\mathcal{Q}$ and $\mathcal{R}$ are regular open subsets of $\mathcal{X}$, then define $\mathcal{Q}\vee\mathcal{R}:=\mathrm{int}\left[\mathrm{clos}(\mathcal{Q}\cup\mathcal{R})\right]$. (For example:  $(a,b)\vee(b,c)=(a,c)$.)  Meanwhile, define $\neg\mathcal{Q}:=\mathrm{int}((0,1)\setminus\mathcal{Q})$.  Then $\mathfrak{R}$ is a Boolean algebra under the operations $\vee$, $\cap$, and $\neg$.
We can then define a finitely additive measure on $\mathfrak{R}$ in the obvious way:  it is a function $\mu:\mathfrak{R}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}_+$ such that $\mu[\emptyset]=0$ and $\mu[\mathcal{Q}\vee\mathcal{R}]=\mu[\mathcal{Q}]+\mu[\mathcal{R}]$ whenever $\mathcal{Q}$ and $\mathcal{R}$ are disjoint regular open subsets of $(0,1)$.  To avoid confusion with the standard notion of measure (defined in terms of disjoint unions), I will sometimes call this a finitely $\vee$-additive measure in what follows.
Let $\lambda$ be the Lebesgue measure.  Intuitively, it seems that $\lambda$ "should" define a finitely $\vee$-additive measure when restricted to $\mathfrak{R}$.  The simplest regular open subsets of $(0,1)$ are finite disjoint unions of open intervals --let us call these simple open sets.  The simple open sets form a Boolean sub-algebra of the regular open sets, and it is easy to see that $\lambda$ is finitely $\vee$-additive on this sub-algebra.  For example
$$ \lambda\left[(a,b)\vee(b,c)\right] \  = \  \lambda\left[(a,c)\right] \ = \ c-a  \ = \ c-b+b-a  \ = \  \lambda\left[(a,b)\right] + \lambda\left[(b,c)\right]. $$
However, not all regular open sets are simple; in general, a regular open set is a countable disjoint union of open intervals, and it is not immediately clear that $\lambda$ will be finitely $\vee$-additive when applied to such sets.  Hence my question:

Does the Lebesgue measure induce a finitely $\vee$-additive measure on the Boolean algebra of regular open subsets of $(0,1)$?

This seems like an obvious question to ask, so presumably it was answered a long time ago, and I am just looking in the wrong place.  (Oddly, Fremlin's multi-volume encyclopaedic work on measure theory does not seem to address this question.)  If the answer is already known, then I would really appreciate a reference to the relevant literature.  

Some remarks:
(1) This question arose in the discussion following another question I recently asked about finitely $\vee$-additive measures. 
(2) I have focused on the open unit interval $(0,1)$ only for simplicity.  Obviously, the same question could be posed for any bounded interval (closed or open).  Unbounded intervals might be more complicated, since they contain sets with infinite measure.
(3) More ambitiously, the same question could be posed  in higher-dimensional Euclidean spaces.  For example, in $\mathbb{R}^2$, it is clear that the Lebesgue measure is finitely $\vee$-additive for regular open sets which are finite disjoint unions of open rectangles.  But a general regular open set in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is a complicated beastie (it is not just a countable disjoint union of rectangles), so different strategies may be required.
(4) $\mathfrak{R}$ is in fact a complete Boolean algebra. Thus, we can define $\bigvee_{n=1}^\infty \mathcal{R}_n$ for any countable collection $\{\mathcal{R}_n\}_{n=1}^\infty\subseteq\mathfrak{R}$.  However,  I have focussed on finite $\vee$-additivity for a reason:  it is easy to show that there $\mathfrak{R}$ cannot support any countably $\vee$-additive measure.  In particular, the Lebesgue measure cannot be countably $\vee$-additive on $\mathfrak{R}$, even if it turns out to be finitely $\vee$-additive.  So even though any regular open set is a countable disjoint union of open intervals, this does not mean that any finitely $\vee$-additive measure is determined in the obvious way by its behavior on open intervals.
 A: This is a great question! But unfortunately, the answer is no,  the Lebesgue measure on the unit
interval is not finitely $\vee$-additive.
Theorem. There are two disjoint regular open sets $L$ and $R$
in the unit interval, with Lebesgue measure as small as desired,
but whose union is dense, and so $L\vee R$ has full measure.
Proof. Consider the construction of a fat Cantor set, obtained
by successively omitting much less than the middle third of each of the
remaining intervals. By omitting less, you can arrange that the resulting Cantor set has measure as close to $1$ as desired. 
Let $U$ be the union of those omitted intervals, the complement of
the fat Cantor set. This is an open dense set of some measure $\epsilon$, as small as desired. (The set $U$, being open dense, is not itself regular.) 
Let $L$ be the union of the open left-halves of the omitted intervals,
and let $R$ be the union of the open right-halves of those intervals. So
$L$ and $R$ form a disjoint open partition of $U$, minus the countably many center points of the omitted intervals, and the measure
of $L$ and $R$ are each $\epsilon/2$.
I claim that each of $L$ and $R$ are regular open sets. To see
this, notice first that between any two of the intervals used to construct
$L$, there is an interval of $R$, and vice versa. Suppose that $u$
is an open interval contained in the closure of $L$. Since $R$ is
open and disjoint from $L$ and hence also from the closure of $L$,
it must be that $u$ contains no points from $R$. It follows that
$u$ can contain points from at most one interval of $L$, and from
this it follows that $u\subset L$. So the interior of the closure
of $L$ is $L$ itself and therefore $L$ is regular open. A similar
argument shows that $R$ is regular open.
Meanwhile, since the union $U=L\cup R$ is open dense in the unit
interval, it follows that $L\vee R$ is the whole interval, and so
the measure of $L\vee R$ is $1$.
So we have $\lambda(L)+\lambda(R)=\epsilon<1=\lambda(L\vee R)$,
which violates finite $\vee$-additivity. QED
