Lets not do open washing here. Its not open source, as that would require it having an open source compatible license, which it does not have, see the open source definition:

https://opensource.org/osd

  1. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
