And there's nothing wrong with that, it's just not open source. It's source visible/available software, which has been a thing for ages. Old school forum scripts like vBulletin, Invision Power Board, XenForo and WoltLab run on this very model. As does about 90% of proprietary CMS software in general. The problem is that a lot of companies seem to want to have their cake and eat it; they want the public contributions and kudos from making open source software, while treating it like proprietary software where the source is (maybe) available to end users.
