Under CC-like conditions the source is accessible, as it is hackable, derivatives are permitted and they are usable. So it is technically "open" in a conventional sense of the word. There are however strings attached, so it's not free or libre. You can't do whatever you want with it, your freedoms are restricted.
On the other hand, it is still more permissive than what's described as "shared source", because the latter doesn't usually allow for changes or even usage.
So there's basically a distinct license category that lies between the "open source" and "shared source". There's no established name for it, but clumping it with "shared source" is not just.
The Googles, and Microsoft of the world want developer tools, libraries, frameworks etc to be open but not end user software for which they commercialize.
They also do not want to limit their ability to take an "open source" software and make it a SaaS or PaaS on their cloud.
At this point, "open source" is openly hostile to Free Software
Sure under a technical definition Open Source all Free Software is open source, however not all Open Source software is Free Software.
That is the core of the problem, as we move forward in time, the amount of software that is "Open Source" while not being Free expands, not contracts.
In my mind, it's only licenses and the software they're applied to, not organizations, that can be open source or not.
> Sure under a technical definition Open Source all Free Software is open source, however not all Open Source software is Free Software.
Neither category is a subset of the other. For example, SQLite is free software but not open source, because the Free Software Definition includes public domain software, but the Open Source Definition explicitly excludes it. And prior to Perl's adoption of the GPL, it was open source but not free software due to the Artistic License 1.0. Anyway, keep in mind that these examples are really rare, and that the vast majority of programs are either both or neither.

I can't think of any programs in recent times that are open source but not free software. Do you know of any?
Mis-information. The Open Source Definition (https://opensource.org/osd) has no such exclusion. Read it for yourself.

My reading is the core problem is that not every jurisdiction recognizes public domain dedications, so for some people, such software may be no different than "all rights reserved".
