I've seen "source-available" as well. But yes, it's not "open source" if it's proprietary source that you can only look at.

You can do a lot more than look at it. You can modify it, compile it, share your modifications, and share your binaries with your game.
The one major thing you can't do is redistribute the base source code. That's a big thing, and disqualifies it from being open source, but let's not pretend there is no value in the source code access.
