Free as in beer or freedom?

FWIW, the client is open source: https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap

It's visible-source, not open source. https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap/blob/master/COPYING

It is not free as in freedom, and it's not even "open source". The license does not allow modification, nor use outside using it for tarsnap's backup service.
