Their page links to this, though it seems as if their 7z file is password-protected: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15hqr7WfLbw3ngQfcpQSUpU83_-Y5zfro

Ultimately it seems it's not as open as what GPL requires.

Actually, looking at the exe and assuming it's got basically the same content, seems as if it's just for their app, not the firmware.

FWIW, I believe that zip file isn't the source code - it's a zipped binary for running their wrapper app on Mac. Multiple people have asked for access to the actual source code in their discord with no response.

Edit: Additional context.
