The title doesn't say that it's open source, though. (nor its license) It's specifically advertising itself based on its language, not its qualities.

GitHub wasn't a dead giveaway? How about the MIT License badge on the page?

Come on, now...

I think it's safe to say that one should check these (obvious) things before posting a snarky comment. It seems to me that this is part of the HN community ethos.

There have been numerous source-available but proprietary github projects posted to HN.

Good thing you can check the license!
