Open Source vs opensource

The latter concept is most reasonably labelled "source-available
software" or "viewable software".

When someone tries to call that "opensource software" and claims it's a
distinct and legitimate separate concept, I detect the smell of used cow
food around that, and strongly suspect someone attempting to encroach
proprietary offering onto the domain of genuine open source in a rather
sleazy and transparent fashion.
