My biggest familiarity with "source available" was some of the .Net stuff from MS before they fully embraced FLOSS for .Net language/platform development. Which was iirc, a look, but don't touch kind of thing.

If you can fork and reuse, then "source-available" is probably a poor term for said license.

I agree. Yet projects using said licenses get shamed into adopting the term "source-available" even though it doesn't fit, while "open-source" actually makes more sense in terms of communicating freedoms. It's all so ridiculous. Things need to change.
