The above is a stupid answer, it’s open source and MIT licensed: https://github.com/primocms/primo/blob/master/LICENSE

Could you elaborate? Tailwind CSS is MIT but it's still under a for-profit company.

Orthogonal. Many open source projects have companies behind them, that doesn’t restrict what you can do with the license.

That's true, but it does communicate something important to companies and individuals looking to use, contribute, or build on the project to say what kind of open source it is, rather than just saying its open-source IMO. Would be interested to hear if you think it could be clarified though.

Your answer completely sidesteps the question though and doesn't mention that it's open source, which makes it sound like it's not
