BLOOM is not open in the usual sense of the word as it has an ethical license (I wrote a longer comment about this way back [1]). I doubt that this is an issue for academic usage, but I am not sure how comfortable one should be basing a company on compliance with (what is so far) an untested license with vague and wide wording.

Currently I am leaning towards “restricted”, as they are neither open, nor proprietary.
