The license on server forbids you to do anything about it, but it is "hey look, open source!". i.e. You can see, develop and modify the code on your own but under the license you can't do anything about it. That's really saying you are allowed to develop something you legally cannot own unless you paid the subscription, on top of that they can slap the "open source" label on it.
Edit: alright, I stand corrected.
FOSS and OSS mean the same thing. Apparently this stems from MBAs failing to understand the difference between free speech and free beer, and automatically assuming the later.
So this is "source available", and the label "open source" is bogus.
The term "open source" is well defined by OSS. It seems like the client itself is open source, but the server is under a proprietary license. So yeah, this aint it.
