You absolutely do not need to treat these licenses as Open Source, because they are not. However the FSL for instance fully converts into Open Source which means that after the lockup period, it's unquestionable Open Source.

I have been a developer long enough that I have seen bad license choices harm projects even long after the commercial entity that developed it stepped away.

Nobody tries to fool anyone, we're trying to establish a better licensing regime than keeping things closed source.

As for the visibility into teams part: from my experience developers have a lot of opinions of licenses, yet in practical terms these very rarely result in making decisions. It's more common that developers will be told off by the legal department about a license choice, than that a developer would on their own opt against the use of something.
