The documentation for publishing to Central is very comprehensive. I
suggest you take a closer look. Specifically
https://central.sonatype.org/register/central-portal/
https://central.sonatype.org/publish/producer-terms/
https://repo1.maven.org/terms.html
And maybe contact a lawyer and Sonatype if unclear.

is it a requirement? No real idea as already said in this thread, you
need to ask Sonatype.
But it breaks the concept of opensource as you cannot build from the
sources :)
The sources uploaded to Maven Central are generally not sufficient for
a rebuild. They are convenient for debugging and quick look up,
however one almost always need to go to the project's website, and
download full sources necessary for a complete build. The project's
website could be just a source repository with a top-level README.
I don't think Sonatype has or can have a requirement of "online
project site available". There are older artifacts people still rely
on, that may never be rebuilt because the original sites are long
gone. Does it mean they should be removed from Maven Central, for
example? I think it should be mainly up to the users to decide
whether they want to use a particular artifact.
As far as I'm aware there could be Free Open-source and Non-free
Open-source. I don't know if complete build instructions are
requirement for the latter, and Open-source in general?
