Accepting contributions with a license like this is a solved problem. You just require the contributors to sign a contributor license agreement. In case the contributor is working somewhere, you also have them sign a corporate contributor license agreement. This is the same process used by companies like Gitlab. They aren't claiming to be open source. It's similar in certain ways to open source, but different.

> They aren't claiming to be open source. They are claiming to be essentially identical for small organizations: "The Fair Source License works just like an open-source license when the usage is below the Use Limitation." This is, however, false given the lack of ability to redistribute modified copies (even under the same license). Its not "just like an open-source license", even before considering the Usage Limitation.
