Sure, I've updated the post so it doesn't imply that we comply with the OSI open source definition.


Could you be more explicit and say that it means the software isn't "open source"? Complying with OSI's definition of "open source" is what "open source" means. They defined the term, so they have a prerogative on what it means.

"Visible source" might be a good description if you want to call it something, but don't confuse your users with "open" and "community" and other feel-good terms.
