It’s not nitpicking, the term “open source” is not usually used for this kind of thing, it would be called “shared source” I did a poll on this on a Discord server a while ago What does open source mean You can view the source code: 0 votes View + use + redistribute for any purpose: 14 votes So no, your version of it is not the common usage
