I'm afraid you need to also update each  source file to say they are
licensed under CAL.

I can't speak for the OSI and what exactly they would do, but usually what
happens is that claiming to be open source when you're not attracts so much
negative publicity (e.g. people on social media warning to stay away from
your project) that you eventually choose to either use a proper open source
license or alternatively don't call yourself open source.
