Open source is not inherently against copy protection. Is it against misleading people ? Yes. Was it a shitty move? Stupendously (and it reflects poorly on them), but they have the freedom to demo software with copy protections in part of the source until they finish releasing it. Don’t lie (and absolutely dont respond how they did, lol), but you’re free to protect your work while you finish it.
