SSPL is a copyleft license, and it's definitely open source. It doesn't prohibit competitive commercial offerings. It just requires them to share their source, just like a GPL.

Only if we define it as “what the OSI approves of”. Otherwise, SSPL doesn’t prohibit commercial use, it’s just a somewhat-aggressive copyleft license.
