to be clear, this isn't "yet another open source license"

I'm pretty sure this doesn't qualify as an "open source" license. This is a commercial license that allows free usage for certain people / companies.

Exactly.

In the early aughts, Microsoft used to call this concept “shared source” – not open source.

Even more reason to not use it for anything.
