    I know, and yet the code is open source. Confusing.

      No, the code is available, which is not the same as open source.

        True, but I have no issue preventing commercial use. I view that as just as good if not better than traditional open source.

        They do call it “open source” in the docs though.

      That’s called “source available”. FUTO basically did the same thing with their stuff after the community rightfully got angry over their use of “open source” in their docs.
