Quoted from that web site:
"Please note that all source files have been made available with the permission 
of the
original author. They are not to be uploaded to any other web site without the 
expressed
permission of the author and/or Freeflight Design Shop."

"NOTICE:  By downloading any files available from this site you are hereby 
acknowledging
agreement to properly credit the original designer(s) for their efforts should 
you
release any reworks and/or paint-ups of these files. In addition, you agree not 
to sell,
package for sale, or distribute any files found at this site, or alterations 
thereof,
for profit."

This is pretty representative of the terms I've seen for free MSFS add-ons. It 
is not
"open-source" or "free source" according to commonly understood definitions of 
those
words.
