Most good-faith commenters put clear statements about their association to what they're defending. Not doing so immediately makes me suspicious.
Can I suggest calling it "Eventually-Open Source Software"?

FWIW that's what I call it, but that's not exactly a well known enough term.

Eventually open explains itself. And makes anyone not sure what it means aware to find out. It is superior entirely to lying.
