Doesn't really tell me much about why it could be considered "Open".

That still doesn't tell me why the website asks for a $4/month fee.

because hosting and maintain a website costs money, it's an opensource procect, meaning you can host it on your own (for free).

You should tell more about it in README.md, IMHO.

That still doesn't explain what the licence is for.

It says "After completing the checkout, you will receive an email containing your product key and installation instructions."

So, its still an installed version. I love how everyone is champing at the bit "oh its on GitHub look you're just stupid its open source" when you have no fucking idea what the licence is for either.

Nobody has said that. You asked a questions, got answers. Don't make it personal.
