It is open-source, no question.

What you might mean is that it isn't free/libre as in FOSS.

That’s the Stallman kind of point of view. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source section "Open" versus "free" versus "free and open"

But to a lot of us, “open source” has a specific meaning as well.

> Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code.

From my point of view, for example, GPL is not "open" at all. And yet it is on the list. In my opinion, BSL is even more "open" than GPL. Feel free to have a different view.
