Open-source is a standard, well-defined term.
Feel free to make up your own language where open-source means what you want it to mean, but I feel I should warn you that the purpose of language is to communicate intent... which requires that you use the terms other people have agreed upon.
At the moment you are doing a substandard job of communicating intent.

Also, of course Firefox has a license.
But the license is an open-source license... that is kind of the point.
It doesn't restrict you from using the code -- quite the opposite.
This DRM system seems to require a different type of license. Not a terms of use, these are your rights license, but the kind where you have to receive special permission and possibly a code of some sort to use it.
In other words, the license they offer to look at the code does not inherently give you the right to use the code -- that requires a separate and unspecified license.
