You are right-ish

They have a source-available license, which allows all modification and redistribution except modification and redistribution with commercial purposes.

How you feel about that is up to you. Personally I feel like allowing commercial usage of the code is actually a major blindspot with the normal FOSS licenses, as it leaves the doors open for TiVoization.
