i guess you didn't click the link in my comment? here is another, with a list of governments and other entities who all agree about the definition: https://opensource.org/authority/
Oh so what you're trying to say is that, because the license they chose is not on this list, it's not open source. Stupid take IMO but you do you
It isn't about the list of approved licenses, it's about the criteria for being added to the list. New licenses regularly meet the definition. This license clearly does not.

But even if he did release something under one, I would be extremely surprised if he called a non-free license "open source" as FUTO is doing here.
