The accepted term is "source available".

Restrictions on usage type are not commonly accepted as open source by any community that I'm aware of.

I don't say it to be pedantic about the term, but there are hard restrictions on usage of this tool in commercial environments.. So it's important people are aware and don't just assume it's an open source.
