No, that’s not how it works. It is source available

I understand what you’re saying. What would make GrayJay open source? Allowing contribution?

Open source/libre/foss all have to do with the license. Grayjay doesn’t have a license that meets the criteria because it places arbitrary restrictions on the code.
It has nothing to do with contributions. You can ship the code on a CD and that is totally fine as long as it has the proper license.
