No, Walter, it isn't, and you should know this by now considering all 
the past discussion. All the back-end work you're doing is "source 
available". "Open source" was coined in 1998 by people with a precise 
meaning: See http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd and 
http://www.opensource.org/history .

In particular, free redistribution and derived works are fundamental to 
the open source definition.
