Microsoft Edge: where's the source?

Chromium is licensed with 3-clause BSD, which allow developers to make closed source proprietary product on top of open-source code. Microsoft Edge isn't opensource as Google Chrome isn't open-source while they're both built on chromium.
I don't think Microsoft ever claimed it was open-source.

Was sure from day one when they first announced the chromium pivot that they’d definitely cop out citing the license. Not surprised all these years later.
