No, FUTO made a new "Source First License"[1] that is not Open Source by the OSI definition.

I can get behind people doing their own custom "licenses" that amount to throwing their work into the public domain, but if someone builds their own limited licenses around a thing, I won't touch their product. This FUTO license is garbage. Use a real license and either be open source or not; inventing new personal licenses doesn't do anyone any good.
