Then you misunderstand the popular definition.  I think the general
consensus of "open source" means you can look at it.  In most cases you can
do more, usually much more.  But some restrictions, like GPL or my
copyright, don't disqualify it from being "open source".

There are probably others listening in wondering what the fuss is about.
