“The FUTO license does not allow for the freedom to view, modify, and distribute the software's source code. It allows it for certain groups and activities but that is the same as not allowing it.”
The FUTO license allows all these things but with the limitation that it not be for the purposes of:
A/ subverting the original code’s payment terms if any, or
B/ commercializing the software as a licensee without payment to the licensor
This is in clear violation of the terms of an open source license under the open-source definition (OSD)TM of the OSI.
However it does not violate the original definition of the term open source as coined by Christine Peterson who specifically did not apply any commercialization constraints in either direction in order to remain non-political.
She simply claimed the term "open source" was intended to highlight the importance of making source code available for use, modification, and distribution without the political connotations of "free software"
The constraints against limiting commercialization were introduced by the OSI in their definition, in my opinion based on influence from their closed-source big tech financial sponsors.
