They are not pretending it's an OSS license. The article states:

That was my mistake, my brain remembering wrong. https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/blob/9.1.2/LICENSE was its last open source license, MITish, right?

As for calling it "*source" and saying "oh we're not pretending its open source"? This is a point of opinion, but I think that's disingenuous marketing, at best.

The word “source” has a meaning, it’s not exclusive to the phrase “open source”.
