It's not closed source, since the source is publicly published. It's source available.
Source available is closed source by the OSI definition, which is what is widely used and understood. The "closed" in closed source doesnt only refer to source visibility but also the freedoms upheld by open source.
I am not aware of any definition of closed source published by OSI.
