Is it open data? (meaning open licensed)

https://ebird.org/science/download-ebird-data-products

  "eBird provides open data access in several formats" - sounds good!
  "to logged-in users" - less open but maybe fair enough if they're worried about hosting a heavy download.
  "after completion of a data request form" - starting to sound quite restrictive.
Anyone know what actual license & copyrights are applied to the data? Anyone filled out the form and received the data?
