using "free and open" is going to evoke the idea of FOSS. so you either:

1. did that intentionally, intending to trick people into thinking UbiCloud is FOSS

2. did it unintentionally, somehow missing the obvious connection that people are going to make

either way, its a bad look. this is a solved problem, you can use the correct term for the situation:

Agree. Using "free and open" is still rather deceptive.

It doesn't even need to evoke the idea of FOSS. Software that includes licence management with keys and such should not be called "free and open"

elastic, who is the creator of the licence in the first place, refers to it as Free and Open. https://www.elastic.co/pricing/faq/licensing#
