??? Isn't React licenced under the MIT licence? It seems to me that it tickes all boxes?

As I wrote at the top of my comment. "I agree with you that react is definitely open source" (and no, I did not edit that in, it was there when you read it)

I'm aware react is licensed under the MIT license. I was just talking about how the parent comment chose to define "open source".
