You're not looking closely enough. There's no EULA on the project. There's a EULA on a specific set of binaries that are QA'd, bundled and distributed by a specific distributor associated with the project.

The project itself remains open source. You can `git clone` that source and use it under the apache 2 license, which is both free and open.

Furthermore, the development is still open, and there is still no CLA required to contribute.

Ok. So OwnCloud Infinite Scale customers are not using open-source software but a proprietary product closely related to some open-source code. Just like users of VS Code, Google Chrome, macOS, most distributions of Android, IntelliJ IDEA, GitLab, etc. And like other OwnCloud Enterprise customers.
