Releasing source code to paying customer is not "open source", it's just a clause in a contract. Microsoft allow some larger companies can get their hands on the Windows source code. Is Windows "open source"? I wish people would stop throwing around "open source" as a buzzword. IT'S NOT FUCKING OPEN SOURCE.

"the whole source code would be released as open-source to our paying customers."

The "as open-source" part there seems not entirely true. It's not truly "open" if only paying customers have a copy. Just "would be released..." would suffice, without the buzzword compliance thrown in.
