It certainly is misleading. Borderline fraud in my opinion. To quote directly 
from the license:

"3. Open source 
a) This Software is provided with the original source code. 
b) Original source code provided by Mr Net may be altered for personal use 
only. 
c) Distribution of modified Software is proibithed."

Of course, "Open Source" is not a trademarked term, so I don't know if 
there's any legal grounds to stop them.
