Well, they seem to have some opensourced some of their code. But they are far away form being free software although they claim to use the GPL. If I can't build the software myself, I won't use it.

It means that it's partly open source, which means that the marketing material is lying. It's OK for a company to not be 100% open source, but it's not OK to lie, especially if trust is needed.
