Google cannot offer you legal advice regarding intellectual property disputes, which appears to be what you're asking. If you believe you need such advice, I urge you to seek independent legal counsel.
If you believe that you have a valid copyright infringement claim under the DMCA, you may file a DMCA notice at http://google.com/dmca.html . You should first consult with your legal counsel to establish whether or not you have a valid claim under the DMCA, Google cannot help you with that. Looking at the project's source code, I see that it is indeed not open source per the OSI definition (in particular, modification and redistribution are prohibited).
