What is "actually open source", if "here's the source code" is not?
People often use the OSI's Open Source Definition when using the term "open source". One of its criteria says "The license must allow modifications and derived works" which this license does not allow.
Which is one of the possible definitions. Mine is "you can see the code". Everything else falls into "free software".
The term that is often used for that is "source available". Good example of other software in this category would be what, Unreal Engine?
