The official open-source definition expects more freedoms that just being able to see the source: the whole point of having the source isn't transparency, it's freedom. Freedom to fork and modify. Freedom to adapt the code to fix it and make it work for your use case, and share those modifications.

This doesn't let you modify the code or share your modifications at all.
