The only place TechCrunch refers to it as open source is the title. The article body even explains that it isn't open source

> By definition, an open-source license can’t have limitations. This new license does, so it’s technically not an open-source license.

This language is still awful. The title is inexcusable and this "technically" qualifier is implying that open source is some flimsy title to be bandied about with software that is not.
