There are different types of licences. The best place to know about a license is GitHub. Try to select one in empty repo.

A Software is open source when 'source' is open. If you can build another app by use of source code.

Then there is another thing FOSS: it's free open source software. The word free has lots of meaning here.

What they are doing they are providing documents of open source project: nodejs but the app itself is not. They are just showing ads... Wherever possible
