"Is it Open Source?

Datomic binaries are provided under the Apache 2 license which grants all the same rights to a work delivered in object form."

No, without human-readable source code, and all the permissions to study, improve, and share with others, it is not Open Source.

It's OK for that FAQ to plainly say "no". It's OK for software to be "Freeware". Just don't confuse folks with FOSS licenses.
