 To be fair, accepting contributions from outside folks requires a well-designed legal framework. Otherwise it's a legal mess. It could be that they just don't have it in place for folks outside the company.

 Then it’s not open source

 It might be open source, just not free software

 SQLite is open source, right….?

It also does not accept contributions also.

Open source defined by the Open Source Initiative does not include the right to force maintainers to accept your contribution.

That’s called “open contribution”

 Yeah, not claiming it’s open source, but also open source does not mean contributions need to be accepted

 Sir! If your product is 90%+ closed and you can’t do with it anything, I guess you shouldn’t call it open at all! OPEN miss used as fuck right now! If you have open source then take bitcoin example! Don’t confuse people with your corporate fiat mindset to attract and sell your shit!
