It's not as vague as you're making it sound.

Open source would mean what the engineers who work on this build artifact edit. This is clearly not that.

This is 'more open' than other releases, yes. That doesn't mean it reaches the bar of what 'open source' means.

If a company makes a product that involves a code generator, and publishes the generated code, but not the code generator itself, it’s still open source.
