Would you mean proprietary software which comes with its source code? I would call it 'proprietary sofware which comes with its source code'.

"Similar terms include "closed-source software" and "non-free software"."
It's not closed source I'm after, I mean if you can redistrubute the code anyhow you want but not the rest.
