You cannot:

...

  • Share information about any discovered exploits in the game with anyone other than us
  • Operate official, unofficial, private or any otherwise competing BitCraft servers

Doesn't sound open source to me.

Yeah adding these two restrictions to any open source licence means that it's not actually open source. They should brush up on the open source definition. It sounds like it will effectively be "source available", which is not the same thing.

Isn't this whole project just a showcase for their unique backend? They must be really insecure about it to ban any competition in the license.

If they want to show off their backend just open an only fans like everyone else.
