? Do you know what “source” means in open source? Like, what is the source of the binary? It’s the code. That’s the source in open source.

I don't disagree, but it is perfectly acceptable per the MIT license, which is an OSI approved license. MIT doesn't require source distribution with the binary (which is why from the developer perspective, it's a more "permissive" license)
