Why limit it to open source software?

Set a flag date by which any open source software not built from source must be delisted from Flathub.

Why is it ok for proprietary software to not build from source, but for open source it's not ok?

Because it’s fundamentally different. Open source not following the source is a clear indicator it’s no longer following its published base.
