Open source development prohibited with MASM ?!? (Announce)

There is possibly a misconception in the second part:

the MASM32 license talks about "Open Source", not about "Freeware". So you can charge people for using your software or not, that doesn't matter, but you must not reveal the source.

Sounds slightly less absurd, but still "strange".
