It's not foss, unless they've changed the 'temporary licence' yet.

E: It is an awesome project and I really hope it takes off, but this isn't the best place to post it.

It's free and the code is available for inspection.

You're posting to /c/foss, not /c/freeofchargeandthecodeisavailableforinspection.

People with different definitions were constantly bickering on whether it qualifies as open source. It might as well for all I care.

But it's not free and open source with that restrictive license. The word free doesn't refer to the price tag.
