bizarre pseudo-libre license

It's not okay to pretend your software is open source (Drew DeVault, 2018)

I've read through the license and although it is weird as hell it allows everything except the commercial use, at least that was my understanding since I don't know Legalese very well.

It does but I don't get why

"Everything except the commercial use" means it does not meet the definitions of Open Source or Free Software and therefore is offtopic in this sub. I wonder if the non-commercial license choice has to do with the fact that one of the developers works for Discord?

Also, it appears that they've somehow made a Matrix client+server that currently doesn't federate? (That is on their roadmap, but it is an unchecked box currently. Also unchecked is the box for e2e encryption.)
