The fundamental problem here isn't the relicense, the problem it's that it's being incorrectly called an "open source model".

This is not an open source software license, so it's not an "open source model". It's not a Free software license either, as defined by the Free Software Definition. Instead, it's a proprietary license. It's not a new software license model, either; historically this has been called a "gated community license" or "open box license". Here's article from 2000 about gated community license models: http://archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/articles/gated.... They've never caught on, in over 20 years of trying, but perhaps this project's experience will be different.

We've had, for decades, a widely-accepted definition for what the term "open source software" means. If someone actually means "open source software" per that widely-accepted definition, then by all means, that person should use the term. Since this project don't actually mean "open source software", then they should not use the term - please call it something else. The world is confusing enough.
